If a dietitian tries to make a patient follow the plan by frightening them, what is the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Trust and long-term adherence may weaken
Fear may produce short-term compliance, but it is not an ethical or reliable basis for nutrition counselling. It can damage trust, increase anxiety, discourage questions, and prevent the patient from reporting difficulties or side effects. Effective counselling uses empathy, accurate information, respect for autonomy, and shared decisions so that adherence is informed and sustainable.
