Question 1 of 5
You have been asked to record the amount of food that the person has eaten during each meal. What kinds of words or numbers would you use to record this food intake?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Food intake is typically measured in terms of the percentage (%) of food that has been eaten. Using percentages allows for a more precise and standardized way of recording food consumption. For instance, you would record 25% of the vegetable if the person has eaten about a quarter of the vegetables on the plate.
Choices A and B are incorrect.
Choice A's terms 'a little' and 'a moderate amount' are vague and not specific enough for accurate documentation.
Choice B's use of cc is more appropriate for measuring fluids, not solid foods.
Choice D is also incorrect as it combines vague terms with percentages, which could lead to confusion in accurately documenting the food intake.
