Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: New behaviors that promote weight loss need to be integrated into long-term lifestyle change. Weight loss goals should be reasonable and achievable to increase the likelihood of success. Clients should seek help in developing a weight loss program that is individualized to their needs. The client is demonstrating motivation by seeking the assistance of the nurse. Telling the client to come back when they are motivated is demeaning and should not be done. Modification of behaviors that resulted in weight gain is important for weight management.

Answer to Question 2

D
Toddlers are dealing with issues of autonomy and like to assert their newly discovered indepen-dence. They are not usually concerned with privacy or isolation. They are still very dependent on their parents, but less so than in infancy.
