Why is the scope of clinical nutrition affected by social determinants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because income, education, family support, and food availability affect food choices and adherence
A diet plan is effective only when a person can obtain, understand, prepare, and follow it. Income affects affordability, education affects understanding, family support affects implementation, culture affects acceptability, and local availability affects realistic choices. Clinical nutrition must therefore adapt recommendations to social circumstances rather than assuming identical conditions for all patients. Option B is correct.
