Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The client is usually of normal or slightly above average weight, and some binge-eaters are obese. Appearance does not provide diagnostic clues, hence the term normal-weight bulimic.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Long-term care facilities are the only safe option listed for the client who is confused, wandering, and needs 24-hour supervision, seven days a week. Senior citizen centers do not have staff responsible for this type of care and assisted living and residential care facilities will only admit clients with minimal need for assistance.
