Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An enmeshed family often puts a lot of importance on body image, social acceptance, and achievement. Expecting independence and self-reliance is not compatible with enmeshed family dynamics. The remaining options do not address the parent's question.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The priority is to begin refeeding, a procedure that involves tube feedings that are continued until the patient is voluntarily eating sufficient quantities. Refeeding takes place using foods and fluids via the GI tract, rather than by the parenteral route. Although refeeding is very threatening to the patient, since they have no control over the weight gain that will occur, su-icide precautions are not indicated at this point, but careful assessments will continue. A nu-tritional consult is not useful at this point in the treatment since the patient is not making choices regarding eating.

Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
