72 The PMHNP is working with the parents of a 13-month-old male who

is diagnosed with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. The toddler will eat, but he seems to tire both physically and emotionally very quickly and is easily distracted; once distracted, he will not return to the meal. His weight trajectory has dropped and he has gone from a weight of 60 percentile for age/height to 10 percentile for age/height. As part of the transactional plan of care, the parents will be encouraged to:

A. Allow the child to determine the eating schedule, and feed him whenever he appears hungry
B. Offer high calorie liquid supplements between scheduled meals
C. Present playful stimuli during and immediately after meals
D. Give attention and praise to positive eating behaviors
