B. ""I avoid milk and meat at meals because I am Jewish.""
C. ""My auntie sent me clay from the south to eat every day.""
D. ""Because I am Muslim, I do not ever eat any pork products.""

Answer 1

The patient statement that requires intervention is option C: "My auntie sent me clay from the south to eat every day."

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient statement on cultural or religious influences on nutrition that requires intervention is option C: "My auntie sent me clay from the south to eat every day." While cultural and religious practices can have an impact on nutrition choices, eating clay is not a recommended or healthy practice. Clay is not a source of essential nutrients and can be harmful if consumed in large quantities. It is important to provide the student with information on healthier and more appropriate food choices within their cultural or religious beliefs.
