Answer to Question 1

B
Because the patient is unconscious, the risk for airway obstruction is present. The distracters are of lower priority than preserving physiological functioning.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although all the questions might be appropriate to ask, only the correct response focuses on the patient's eating patterns. The distracters focus on distortions in body image and explore the patient's feelings about weight.
