this is routine for any patient. If you have time, do all routine counseling.

I guess this is stupid... Why not to counsel on brushing the teeth twice a day, or not eating charred meats, or stopping always on the red stop light, or following speed limit?

guys i would counsel for seat belts when there is a reason to counsel -
i.e. pediatric case ( i would ask about booster seats or car seats), patients would report a recent car wreak, or anything of the sort...
i really don't think its necessary to counsel for this in every case...
