What does the "D" stand for in the ABCD categorization of nutrition screening indicators?

  1. Diagnosis

  2. Details

  3. Documentation

  4. Diet history

The correct answer is: Diet history

The ABCD categorization of nutrition screening indicators stands for Anthropometric measurements, Biochemical data, Clinical signs, and Diet history. The "D" in ABCD stands for "Diet history" because it is an important aspect to consider when assessing a person's nutritional status. This option looks at a person's dietary habits and intake to determine if they are meeting their nutritional needs. Option A, Diagnosis, is incorrect because it is not a part of the ABCD categorization. Option B, Details, and Option C, Documentation, are also incorrect as they do not reflect any of the components in the ABCD categorization.
