When should a nutritional food supplement be offered to a client?

If the client requests it
If the client has a special dietary preference
If the client has a significant weight loss
If the client is a picky eater

The correct answer is: If the client has a significant weight loss

A nutritional food supplement should be offered to a client if the client has a significant weight loss. Significant weight loss can be an indication of malnutrition or other health issues that may require additional nutritional support. Offering a nutritional food supplement in this situation can help ensure that the client receives the necessary nutrients to support their health and well-being. Options A, B, and D are not the most appropriate times to offer a nutritional food supplement. It is important to base the decision to offer a nutritional supplement on objective indicators of nutritional status, such as significant weight loss, rather than subjective factors like client requests, special dietary preferences, or picky eating habits.
