Its definitely not A or D because there are 26 weeks in 6 months.

generally, a weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week is reasonable and safe. 

I would say B because it is unrealistic that someone would always lose 2lbs a week

Answer:

b. "safe and maintainable weight loss should be about 10% of body weight in 6 months."

Explanation:

It is very important to keep our patients in a realistic way of living and expecting from their treatment, it is also very important to remember that we should only healthy loss 10% of our weight in 6 months so the nurse should share that with the patient and make him conscient of that so he won´t be expecting to loose that much weight.
