The acronym CONFRONT stands for Concern, Organize, Needs, Face the confrontation, Respond, Offer, Negotiate, Time. The CONFRONT approach is advocated by a national organization when:
  1. A participant is showing signs of an eating disorder
  2. A participant in an exercise class has a belligerent attitude or becomes combative
  3. A participant has not been adhering to his/her fitness regimen
  4. A participant is consistently behaving in an unsafe manner during class
Explanation
Answer: A - The CONFRONT approach is advocated by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. If a GFI suspects a possible eating disorder, he or she should consider using the CONFRONT approach which advocates: sharing your concern, preparing for the confrontation, assessing the individual’s needs, facing the confrontation (being persistent), responding by listening, offering help and suggestions, negotiating another time to talk, and understanding that recovery takes time. A GFI should not attempt to counsel or treat people with suspected eating disorders, as it is out of their scope of practice; instead, the GFI should consider referring the participant to a medical professional.
