What if the client doesnt answer questions truthfully?
Getting a straight answer from clients can be tricky sometimes. This is particularly true when asking sensitive questions that may indicate a client has unhealthy eating habits. They may not feel comfortable telling the truth. They may be embarrassed. In these cases, the dietitian has to work to develop trust over time. It is appropriate to repeat these questions (e.g., on follow-up visits) over time after developing a close rapport with the client.
