1. Client is a secretary and watches 5 hours of television daily
2. Male who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds
3. 22-year-old female whose hobby is hiking

Client is a secretary and watches 5 hours of television daily
Rationale: A sedentary lifestyle of physical inactivity is associated with the development of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. The male who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds is at an appropriate weight. Hiking or physical activity can reduce the risk for diabetes. Eating chicken rather than pork does not identify the client as at risk for high caloric intake.
