If patient goals are vague what should the dietitian do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Work with the patient to set clear, realistic and measurable goals
The dietitian should use collaborative counselling to turn a vague intention into a specific, realistic, measurable, and time-bound goal. For example, “eat better” can become “eat one fruit on five days each week for two weeks.” Such goals can be monitored, reviewed, and adjusted with the patient.
