What should be considered while giving diet advice to a patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Patient preferences and cultural food habits
Diet advice is more likely to be followed when it respects the patient’s culture, usual foods, preferences, budget, cooking facilities, beliefs, and daily routine while meeting medical needs. Patient-centred counselling improves acceptability and adherence. The adviser’s personal preference, colour, or high price alone cannot make a diet appropriate.
