B) Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
C) Education on exercise and nutrition
D) High-protein, low-carbohydrate diet
Ans: C
Feedback:
Teaching children about the pivotal roles of regular exercise and a healthy diet should be the primary focus of treatment for the majority of obese children. Pharmacologic treatments and cognitive therapy are measures that are likely to be appropriate for only a small minority of obese children. A high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet is a short-term weight loss strategy that is not synonymous with creating lifelong healthy eating habits.
