Explanation:

Question 14

• Encouraging dieting to reach a specific percentile is unhelpful and may promote disordered eating, so this is incorrect.
• Mindful eating (being aware of eating habits) is a healthy strategy for weight - related concerns, so this is correct.
• Using food as a reward (even conditionally) can create unhealthy relationships with food, so this is incorrect.
• "Healthy at Every Size" framework promotes body positivity and healthy behaviors, which is appropriate for counseling, so this is correct.

• Prescribing a multivitamin without assessing diet first is not best practice.
• Asking for a 3 - day food diary helps assess the child's actual intake to determine if a multivitamin is needed, which is a proper approach.
• Telling parents supplements are unnecessary without assessment is not appropriate.
• Reinforcing DHA needs doesn't address the multivitamin question directly.

Answer:

• encourage mindful eating techniques
• consider using framework such as healthy at every size
