Answer to Question 1

C
Hypokalemia results from potassium loss associated with vomiting. Physiological integrity can be maintained if the patient can self-diagnose potassium deficiency and adjust the diet or seek medical assistance. Daily weight gain may not be desirable for a patient with bulimia nervosa. Self-esteem is an identifiable problem but is of lesser priority than the risk for hypokalemia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Being overly helpful is a classic example of role boundary blurring. The nurse's response does not reflect the modeling of healthy behavior. There is no data to indicate the patient has manipulated the nurse.
