A nurse is teaching a health class about the nutritional requirements throughout the life span. Which information should the nurse include in the teaching session? (Select all that apply.)

A) Infants triple weight at 1 year.
B) Toddlers become picky eaters.
C) School-age children need to avoid hot dogs and grapes.
D) Breastfeeding women need an additional 750 kcal/day.
E) Older adults have altered food flavor from a decrease in taste cells.

An infant usually doubles birth weight at 4 to 5 months and triples it at 1 year. Toddlers exhibit strong food preferences and become picky eaters. Older adults often experience a decrease in taste cells that alters food flavor and may decrease intake. Toddlers need to avoid hot dogs and grapes, not school-age children. The lactating woman needs 500 kcal/day above the usual allowance because the production of milk increases energy requirements.
