A caregiver reports that their 3-year-old has been fixated on eating only chicken nuggets and refuses other foods for six weeks. Which action best aligns with the lesson’s guidance?

• A. Recognize this as a persistent food jag that has lasted longer than a few weeks and consider referral to a healthcare professional for assessment of nutritional adequacy and feeding support.
• B. Eliminate chicken nuggets immediately and replace them exclusively with a single unfamiliar vegetable to force rapid diversification of the diet.
• C. Ignore the pattern since all food jags resolve spontaneously within days and no evaluation is warranted until at least a year has passed.
• D. Begin a medically supervised liquid-only diet for two weeks to reset taste preferences without any further evaluation or follow-up.
