A PT is asked to provide a health education consultation for a 16 year old female who is now in a home-school program as she has demonstrated behavioral problems at school. She lives in the home of her parents. She hopes to graduate from high school on time with her peers. The young woman smokes cigarettes, is considered to be highly overweight, does not exercise or participate in vigorous physical activity. Her diet consists of highly processed foods that can be heated in a microwave. Of the many factors that the PT may choose to discuss with this young woman, which ones are those that are most easily modifiable by the young woman?
