Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Sleep and appetite patterns are part of the physiologic circadian rhythms, and a disruption of these patterns may explain many bipolar disorder symptoms. Personality patterns, psychiatric diagnoses, and negative thought patterns are not related to physiology.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: The priority nursing diagnosis for the patient with anorexia nervosa who is exhibiting signs and symptoms of refeeding syndrome is Nutrition, Imbalanced: Less Than Body Requirements. This patient's life may be at risk. Anxiety, disturbed body image, and chronic low self-esteem can be addressed once the patient's physical safety has been restored.
