List examples of when open-ended questions and closed-ended questions would be used in a nutrition counseling session


Open-ended questions should be used when the clinician wants to gain more information from the client and when more than short answers are needed. Open-ended questions are also used to guide clients toward answering secondary or probing questions. Closed-ended questions should be used when only a short answer is needed. Because closed-ended questions are usually answered with only a "yes" or "no," these types of questions should be limited.
