Choice (D) is the most correct answer. Discussing how to limit the child's fat intake is a good first step in making sure that the symptoms from CHD do not appear before their time. Having a diet high in fat will only exacerbate the symptoms and bring them on earlier, leading to a higher risk of heart failure.
