2. Not feel hungry during the code.
3. Notice getting cut in the arm in the rush to respond.
4. Resist germs that were trying to get into the cut.
5. Get to the scene quickly.

Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale: Remember what needed to be done. Heightened memory functions would allow the nurse to do what needed to be done.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Behavior modification frequently focuses on a target behavior that is problematic for the individual or for the community, in this case overeating. The behavior was observed in objective and measurable terms of weight gained, then addressed with a behavior modification plan. The student has not used interactional group therapy. Process illumination is considering the process involved.
