Answer to Question 1

D
Having the teenager describe how the infant will affect her life will allow the teen to think more realistically. Her description will allow the nurse to assess the teen's perception and reality orientation. Asking the teenager if she has talked to her parents is not particularly helpful to the teen or the nurse and may terminate the communication. A direct question about continuing school and how the teenager will support the child will not facilitate communication. Open-ended questions encourage communication.

Answer to Question 2

D
The focus of treatment in individual therapy for an eating disorder involves restructuring cognitive perceptions about the individual's body image. The treatment of eating disorders is initially focused on reestablishing physiological homeostasis. Once body systems are stabilized, the next goal of treatment for eating disorders is maintaining adequate caloric intake. Although family therapy is indicated when dysfunctional family relationships exist, the primary focus of therapy for eating disorders is to help the adolescent cope with complex issues.
