Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Self-portraits give the nurse insight into the clients' perception of their body image. Discussing the importance of food, observing the client's interactions with other clients, or response to limit setting when eating, is not as helpful as understanding how the clients see themselves.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Nursing care is based on assessment. Thus, a plan cannot be developed prior to meeting with the client. The time frame, whether short-term or long-term, and the need for follow-up, will be determined by the findings of the assessment.
