Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Behavior modification programs are the treatment of choice for clients diagnosed with eating disorders because the programs allow clients to maintain control. Issues of control are central to the etiology of these disorders. Behavior modification techniques aid in restoring healthy body weight.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse should identify that the appropriate outcome for this client is to perceive an ideal body weight and shape as normal. Additional goals include accepting self on the basis of self-attributes instead of appearance and to realize that perfection is unrealistic.
