Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Reality orientation is successful when clients are able to use the part of their minds that are still intact. Orientation to time is the first ability that is lost followed by place, then person. Ability to perform basic tasks and personal care activities can occur without orientation to place or person. The ability to identify personal strengths or express faith and meaning in life are goals for remotivation or reminiscence therapy and not expected in reality orientation.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Certain illnesses must be ruled out before an eating disorder diagnosis can be made. The cause of the eating disorder is often physical and psychological in nature. There may or may not be a direct cause and effect.
