Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Open-ended questions that are not loaded or accusatory are most likely to elicit data from a client who has an eating disorder. Offering food at this early stage of care is likely to inhibit rather than enhance rapport between the nurse and the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The preanorectic person is generally considered to be a model child and student who is meek, compliant, perfectionistic, and overachieving.
