List and describe the three rights clients are entitled to when entering nutrition counseling.

Clients are entitled to confidentiality, the procedures and goals of counseling, and the counselor's qualifications and practices. Confidentiality entails the nutrition counselor keeping the client's personal and health information private and not disclosing this information with anyone except the client himself or herself. The client has the right to know the procedures and goals of counseling; this includes the length of the counseling session/program, what will occur in counseling, and any deposits or fees. Finally, clients are entitled to know the counselor's qualifications and practices; this includes the scope of practice of the nutrition counselor and advanced credentials.
