Question 1 of 5

An older client who experienced a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) has difficulty with visual perception and eats only half of the food on the meal tray. The client's family expresses concern about the client's nutritional status. How should the nurse respond to the family's concern?

A. Demonstrate the use of visual scanning during meals to the client and family. B. Explain that weight loss will be reversed after the acute phase of the stroke has ended. C. Suggest that the family bring foods from home that the client enjoys eating. D. Encourage the family to offer to feed the client when she does not eat her entire meal.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Teaching visual scanning compensates for visual perception deficits post-CVA, enabling the client to see all food on the tray, addressing the root cause of poor intake and improving nutrition.
