Answer to Question 1

B
Simple, concrete directions are appropriate interventions for a patient with self-concept disturbance evidenced by distorted thinking, passivity, loss of initiative, and inability to make decisions.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse can provide rational limit setting for clients with anorexia nervosa. In some cases, a client's eating patterns may be so distorted that the client needs the nurse to help him or her relearn healthy eating practices. This, along with flexibility and empathy, can be very helpful for someone who is out of control with eating habits, but wishes to regain control. The nurse can role-model healthy eating and exercise behaviors, as well as provide emotional and psychological support.
