If a client does not select enough food from the selective menu, what should the CDM do?

  1. Remove the menu choices

  2. Offer a different menu

  3. Encourage the client to add a choice

  4. Consult with the physician

The correct answer is: Encourage the client to add a choice

It is important for the CDM to communicate with the client and encourage them to add a choice from the selective menu in order to ensure they are getting adequate nutrition. Removing menu choices or offering a different menu may not address the root issue and may not be feasible for various reasons. Consulting with the physician may also not be necessary in this scenario unless there are specific dietary or medical concerns that require their input. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and effective course of action for the CDM to take in this situation.
