Explanation & Rationale
A. Encouraging daily weigh-ins may exacerbate anxiety and fixation on weight, which is not therapeutic. B. Exercise and recreation recommendations should align with the treatment plan and be individualized; morning activities are not universally indicated. C. Allowing the client to select an arts and crafts activity provides a positive outlet for expression and engagement in non-food-related activities. D. Putting the client in charge of choosing snacks for the unit may not be appropriate, as it could contribute to unhealthy food-related behaviors.
