Under what circumstances is it appropriate to provide advice or information to a client?
When you have limited time in your nutrition session
When you have asked for permission from the client
When you have a talkative client
After you've established rapport
The correct answer is: When you have asked for permission from the client
Providing advice or information to a client should always prioritize the client's consent and comfort. Asking for permission before sharing information ensures that the client is ready and receptive to receiving guidance. This approach respects the client's autonomy and encourages a collaborative relationship. When a client is given the choice to engage in the discussion, it can lead to more effective communication and a better understanding of their needs and goals. In contrast, limited time during a session might hinder the depth of the discussion needed for meaningful advice. A talkative client may not necessarily be ready to receive specific guidance just because they are communicative. Establishing rapport is important for building trust, but the initial act of seeking permission is fundamental before discussing sensitive information related to their nutrition and health.
