Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although all options are outcomes requiring nursing assessment and monitoring, the acute and serious nature of electrolyte imbalances has priority over the remaining options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Outcome studies of this approach to anorexia show a 90 improvement rate as compared with an 18 improvement rate for those receiving individual therapy. Five-year follow-up studies show that 70 of patients remained in recovery with this type of treatment. The re-maining options are all correct but they do not directly address the impact on long-term prognosis.
