Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Attaining the desired weight is the priority discharge goal because it best indicates patient compliance with the treatment plan. Resumption of the menstrual period may take an ex-tended time. Having knowledge of nutrition does not ensure that the patient will apply it. Exercising three times a day is considered excessive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Patients with bulimia nervosa require initial assessment for acute fluid and electrolyte imbal-ances (particularly serum potassium) for the presence of life-threatening imbalances. Bone mineral density screening for osteopenia and osteoporosis and assessment is appropriate but it does not have priority over of the blood work to identify an acute life-threatening condition. The remaining options are not diagnostic tests that are generally required of this diagnosis.
