Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The correct response is the only strategy that attempts to question the patient's distorted thinking.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
One goal of health teaching is normalization of eating habits. Food restriction and skipping meals lead to rebound bingeing. Teaching the patient to eat a small meal after purging will probably perpetuate the need to induce vomiting. Teaching the patient to eat a large breakfast but no lunch and increase intake after 4 PM will lead to late-day bingeing. Journal entries are private.
