If a dietitian prepares a diet plan without knowing the patient's lifestyle what is the main risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The plan may not suit the patient's routine and may be difficult to follow
Lifestyle information includes work schedule, meal pattern, physical activity, finances, family support, and cooking facilities. Without it, even a nutritionally sound plan may be unrealistic and poorly followed. Individual assessment improves feasibility and adherence; one identical plan cannot suit every patient equally.
