Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Prozac (fluoxetine), an SSRI, is effective for clients with bulimia when given at the higher dose of 50 to 60 mg per day. Benadryl, Ritalin, and Prolixin are not first-line medications for clients with bulimia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The stressful situation (divorce) has caused a situational crisis. The client is not using previously developed coping skills, but instead adopted the ineffective coping mechanism of regression. Lack of resilience cannot be identified from the information given.
