- B.
  
  Only allow the service user healthier alternatives i.e fruit, yoghurt
- C.
  
  Consult with the MDT including a dietician on how the situation should be dealt
Correct Answer
C. Consult with the MDT including a dietician on how the situation should be dealt

Explanation
In this situation, it is important for the RNLD to consult with the MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) including a dietician. This is because the service user's extreme obsession with chocolate and their violent behavior when denied could be indicative of an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. The MDT, along with the dietician, can assess the service user's overall health and develop a comprehensive plan that takes into account their clinical obesity while still addressing their challenging behavior. This collaborative approach ensures that the best possible care and support is provided to the service user.
