Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Characteristics of a child with anorexia nervosa include a severely distorted body image with an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. The goal to be a model is not consistent with that of anorexia nervosa. The inability to gain weight is not a characteristic of anorexia nervosa. The fear of food being poisoned is a characteristic of paranoid behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The preferred injection site in infants is the vastus lateralis muscle. An alternative site is the rectus femoris. The dorsogluteal site is not used in children until the child has been walking for at least 1 year. The deltoid muscle is used as a site in children after the age of 4 or 5 years.
