Why does a dietitian need to motivate a patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To help the patient adopt healthy changes
Dietary change often requires replacing familiar habits, managing setbacks, and continuing effort over time. Motivational counselling helps patients understand the benefits of change, identify their own reasons for improvement, set realistic goals, and maintain progress without fear or blame. This supports healthy behaviour adoption, so option D is correct.
