If a dietitian checks only weight in follow-up and does not ask about patient difficulties, what is missing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Patient-centred assessment of dietary adherence and barriers
Weight is only one outcome and may change for many reasons. Effective follow-up also explores adherence, appetite, nausea, cost, taste, time, access, family support, understanding, and emotional barriers. Asking these questions makes care patient-centred and helps the dietitian modify the plan safely instead of assuming that the weight alone explains progress.
