4) Supportive factors for patient Girlfriend, swimsuit season/body, wants to be healthy for the future PATIENTS STAGE OF READINESS FOR BEHAVIOR CHANGE (reasons for your assessment) Precontemplation: The client doesnt think this is a problem with this weight gain, just thinks it is a part of life. He has showed no effort to change, has no intent to change in the next 6 months, enjoys watching television and playing video games 5-6 hours a day, might feel as if he is too far gone.

STUDENTS LEARNING ISSUES: What topics or information do you need to research further to complete this care plan? Describe how you obtained this information. I would further research his favorite foods and maybe take another 24 hour recall to see if some days are unhealthier than others. I feel like what he is eating isnt that unhealthy. Although he might be going out to eat a little too frequently, he is making healthy choices when it comes to most meals. I would look into the meals he is having with his family to see if there are possible ways to cook the same meals, or his favorite meals, in a healthier fashion. I would look into beginner cooking classes or find some information for him to see if he would be interested

in learning how to cook his own healthy meals. By personally knowing his family, I know his mother/family are not very conscious of the way they cook meals or what foods are being bought for the family. By learning to cook his own meals or being more educated on nutrition, the client could make healthier choices for himself that might even benefit the whole family! I would also make personal training available to him and see if it fits into his schedule. I think he doesnt want to take the time to go to the gym himself when he doesnt know the correct exercises or what will benefit him the most. Maybe a couple of free personal training sessions with beneficial results will make him realize hes not too far gone and with the correct exercises he could make learn to do it on his own. I know the client is not financially stable on his own, but once he realizes the benefits of personal attention at the gym he would be willing to pay for his sessions. Along with training, I would talk to him about inside activities for winter time. Being a successful high school athlete, I would talk to him about why he was successful then and maybe talk about his weight and how he felt back then. There are also many outside activities I think he would enjoy during the snowy months. The last thing that I would further research is his possible diagnosis of acanthosis negricans. I would request his test results from his dermatologist if they are recent, or take new labs regarding his blood glucose and triglyceride levels. Although the dermatologist did not diagnosis the client with diabetes, he could be in a prediabetes stage that might get worse if he diet isnt closely monitored.

SELF-ASSESSMENT OF INTERVIEW/EDUCATION: Comments regarding: Receptiveness and interest of those interviewed; what went well, what didnt go so well Since the client has an intimate relationship with me, he didnt take the interview very seriously at first. The setting for the interview was rather casual. In a more professional setting the interview would have been taking more seriously. He would jokingly list condiments he didnt like for foods he disliked. But after I stressed the importance, he opened up and became more honest. I think his precontemplation stage of change also partially affected his opinion of the questions I asked. The client was honest about his favorite foods and portion sizes. It was much easier for the client to recall meals and foods eaten the day before (the 24 hour recall) than to the food frequency questionnaire. It was also easier to be more specific on the 24 hour recall. I think he doesnt care about his eating habits or weight, or maybe he was embarrassed to admit that although his eating habits arent the worst, his weight isnt where hed like it to be. I also think that he doesnt feel financially stable enough to make healthier purchases. And because his mother does most of the cooking, he appreciates the fact that he doesnt have to make the effort to make meals himself. These are all personal opinions, and the fact that weve been good friends for a long time before we were in a relationship also affects the knowledge and individual information I know about the client. Not all of this information would be able to be obtained by a nutrition professional. I can imagine it would be very difficult to analyze a clients case by only knowing surface information and vague details. After having several sessions with a client I would guess that the dietitian would develop a closer relationship with the client and gain their trust, but I still think it would be hard to give them the best care without knowing them personally. I understand

that a dietitian cannot have a personal friendship with every, or any, client so this will be a skill I need to develop. I will have to work on analyzing the clients circumstance with as much information that is available to me, and providing the best care I can from that.

PES Statements: 1. Involuntary weight gain (NC-3.4) related to lack of physical activity as evidenced by high BMI and high percentage over ideal body weight. 2. Not ready for diet/lifestyle change (NB-1.3) related to lack of effort to choose healthy foods and participate in physical activity as evidenced by high BMI and involuntary weight gain. 3. Physical inactivity (NB-2.1.) related to lack of effort/care as evidenced by involuntary weight gain. 4. Involuntary weight gain/overweight (NC-3.4) related to excessive calorie intake and unhealthy foods as evidenced by high BMI and high percentage over ideal body weight. 5. Lack of desire to manage self-care (NB-2.3) related to comfort with life and weight as evidenced by no effort to make a change. I felt that the clients lack of physical activity was the most evident. And when analyzing the clients current diet, he already includes some healthy choices into his usual meals. The physical activity PES statements were more relevant than the clients occasional fast food and eating out habits.

Interventions: 1. Collaborate/referral to other providers (RC-1.3) and educate/promote skill development (E-2.5) to encourage beneficial physical activity. 2. Utilize the stages of change model (C-1.4) and motivational interviewing (C-2.1) to implement lifestyle changes 3. Collaborate/referral to other providers (RC-1.3) to support and implement correct physical activity habits 4. Create a general/healthful diet (ND-1.1) and recommend diet modifications (E-2.1) to promote healthier eating habits. 5. Request social support (C-2.5) from family members and use motivational interviewing (C-2.1) to evocate change personal realization in the client

I would first concentrate on the clients readiness to change. Being in precontemplation stage, I would focus on trying to elicit confidence that a change is even possible. I would discuss his past weight, how and why he maintained that weight. I would learn about that part of his life, and I would also discuss his college years and how and why his weight changed. Next I would question his lack of care and try to understand why he feels there is no problem. I would focus on the client, and do my best to work with him to draw out his willingness to change without force and judgment. I would try to stress this importance of making this change, not by telling him he needs to change his diet and physical activity levels, but why making clear the consequences of continuing to be inactive. Because the client is a young male adult, who is rather stubborn, I might utilize the health belief model to emphasize the risk associated with being inactive. Before making use of the health belief model, I would be sure to apply motivational interviewing tactics. I would ask questions such as: What has to be different to make this change more important to you? How would your life be different if you were to make a change in your physical activity level or diet? How confident are you that you could make this change? Do you have a support system to help you make this change? After the motivational interview section, I would make use of the Physical Activity Readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q), Lifestyle Management Form 8.4. See attached. After assessing his readiness to make a change, I would ask the client if they would like to take along some education materials to look over before the next session. The handouts would include material we had already discussed in our counseling session just to reiterate and remind the client of what we talked about. These materials would include Potential Benefits of Regular Moderate Physical Activity, the Lifestyle Management Form 8.1, and Physical Activity Options, Lifestyle Management Form 8.3. See attached. After a session or two with the client I would hope that the client would be closer to the contemplation stage, or possible preparation. At the following sessions, I would reassess his readiness to change, the importance of this change, and how confident the client is that he can make this change. I would see if he would be willing to start making steps towards being more active. I would encourage him to set an activity goal for each week as well as a weight goal for a couple months. At this session I would discuss how to utilize a Physical Activity Log, Lifestyle Management Form, 8.2, and how this could possibly make the change easier for him. See attached. Monitoring and Evaluation: After a couple sessions I would evaluate his log to see if he is being more active regularly. I would analyze his accomplishment of activity goals during this time. I would also reassess his weight as well as BMI to see if he making progress toward his goals.

Summary: From doing this assignment, I learned how to analyze a clients diet, as well as determine their calorie needs and compare it to how much energy the client is actually taking in. I also learned how to assess a clients readiness to change and how to gather materials to encourage a physical activity change. Overall this was a great experience to start developing my motivational interviewing techniques along with utilizing anthropometric measurement tools.
