Question

(2) When we discuss body composition results with an individual, why do you think that we as health professionals should carefully choose our words and try to soften what otherwise may be a harsh reality of poor results? Keep in mind, that even though we will be particular with what we say, that doesn't mean we don't report results or just simply glaze over them to make the individual feel better. (3) Body composition is a very broad term as it is a sum of the entirety of the body. We've primarily discussed body composition in regards to obesity but there are other uses as well. What are some other reasons we would want to run body composition tests for more than just body fat? Have you had any body composition tests run on you? If so what were they and what would you say about your experience? Any positives or negative?

Answer 1

2)The professionals should carefully choose their words when they are reporting information to patients about there condition because no person should hope for a positive results.And if the doctors don't soften there words there may be a chance of patients going into shock or becomes hysterical.The physicians should use plain words to make them understand because if they use medical terms then they is a chance that they wont understand it.Then the physician should show empathy and give them time to understand the situation and let them have a moment and explain the answers to their questions.This may relax the patients and help them understand better and they can know the full information about their health condition.But if the physician is harsh with the news by saying it is bad and I am sorry,I did everything I can this words will make the patients to believe there is no chance for their treatment and they are going to die.And it is unethical.So the news should be deleivdel with soft understanding words.

3)Body composite tests are used to measure muscles,bones,water and fat in our body.I didn't had any body composition tests done for me but my cousin had it and she says it is a positive experience because has a normal test results.
