Answer to Question 1

Several factors contribute to understanding the client's motivation to engage in a weight-loss program: reasons and motivation for weight reduction, previous weight-loss attempts, the patient's understanding of causes of obesity and how obesity contributes to several diseases, existing comorbidities, attitude toward physical activity, capacity to engage in physical activity, time available for weight-loss intervention, and financial considerations.
A patient's nutrition knowledge, food access, food selection, and functional capacity to prepare food and engage in physical activity are all important for individualized treatment planning.
