Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation: The goals of treatment for feeding and eating disorders include: restore patients to a healthy weight (not their ideal weight); treat physical complications; enhance motivation toward restoration of healthy eating patterns and treatment; provide education for patient and family; correct maladaptive thoughts, attitudes, and feelings; treat co-morbid psychiatric conditions; enlist (not restrict) family interaction and support; reestablish social engagement; and prevent relapse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: A 2010 retrospective study (Whitelaw, Gilbertson, Lam, & Sawyer) suggests that aggressively refeeding adolescents during the first two weeks of inpatient hospitalization with 30 fat and 36-65 protein helps them achieve weight gain, with better than average results, and no incidents of refeeding syndrome or medical complications.
