Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: In the initial stages of patient care, providing interventions aimed at reducing stress, such as teaching deep breathing exercises, can assist in developing the therapeutic alliance. Interventions aimed at reducing problematic eating patterns are likely to be less effective until the therapeutic alliance has been established and the patient becomes less resistant to treatment. Identifying mealtime triggers, discussing ways to reframe disordered thoughts, and determining what foods the patient prefers should wait until the therapeutic relationship has been established.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: A common sign/symptom seen in males with eating disorders is decreased serum testosterone level. Ethnic origin and peer relationships are not the most important factors to assess in a patient suspected of an eating disorder. Cholesterol level is not part of the assessment for a patient with a feeding or eating disorder.
