Understanding Eating Well With Canada's Food Guide, principles of basic nutrition, and food labels is important in order to select appropriate and nutritious foods for the client. Buying only the foods one likes or whatever is on sale may not necessarily provide the client with a well-balanced and healthy diet. Asking the nurse what foods to buy is also important, but understanding basic nutrition principles will help the support worker make informed decisions.
