Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Cold or room-temperature foods are often more appealing to patients with anorexia nervosa. Three meals daily could be overwhelming in size to the patient. Smaller, more frequent offerings will be better received by the patient. A focus on gaining weight will promote fixation on pounds instead of health with this population. A patient diagnosed with anorexia will have a greater benefit with discussions relating to caloric intake instead of just observing the patient.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4
Eight milligrams of zinc and 700 mg of phosphorus are the recommended daily amounts for females. One thousand milligrams of calcium is the recommended daily amount of females before menopause. Eight milligrams of iron and 420 mg of magnesium are the recommended daily amount for males.
