Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Depression, loneliness, and hopelessness are common reactions to loss; therefore, the ability to identify ways to reduce hopelessness would be the most important outcome for this client. Altered thought processes and self-care deficits would not be expected in this situation; therefore, the ability to process information or attend to stimuli would not be appropriate. Neither would the ability to dress or perform other self-care activities.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Education about the psychology of compulsive behavior and the physiologic effects of starvation and purging behaviors is usually incorporated into therapy. Cognitive behavioral education includes teaching new ways of thinking about issues, paired with new activities and behaviors to try. Behavior modification, family groups, and individual interventions may be included in client education.
