The CDM learns that several clients have refused to eat the meatloaf served for dinner. What should the manager do first?

Ask the clients for alternative meal suggestions
Send the clients a substitute for the meatloaf
Remove meatloaf from the menu permanently
Offer the clients a dessert instead

The correct answer is: Send the clients a substitute for the meatloaf

The correct answer is B. Sending the clients a substitute for the meatloaf would be the most immediate and practical solution to address the issue of clients refusing to eat the meatloaf served for dinner. By offering a substitute meal option, the clients are more likely to find something they are willing to eat, ensuring their nutritional needs are met. This action shows responsiveness to client preferences and promotes client satisfaction with the meal service. Options A, C, and D are not the best course of action in this scenario. Asking clients for alternative meal suggestions might take more time and may not address the immediate need for a meal replacement. Removing meatloaf from the menu permanently is a drastic step based on the feedback from a few clients and may not be necessary. Offering dessert instead of a main course does not address the issue of clients needing a suitable meal replacement.
