Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high-calorie, low-fat diet is appropriate for a patient with Crohn's disease who is experiencing imbalanced nutrition due to malabsorption and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. A low-calorie diet would not provide enough calories for the patient's needs, and a high-milk or low-residue diet could aggravate the patient's symptoms. A low-protein diet would not provide enough nutrients for the patient's body requirements.
