Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Risk factors for the development of eating disorders include female gender, age, and societal influences including media stereotypes. The client is a preadolescent female who wants to look like the girls on the covers of fashion magazines. The client may be demonstrating unrealistic behavior; however, the risk factors are the client's age, gender, and desire to look like those in fashion magazines. No information is given about the family's influences on the client's body weight. The client may or may not be expressing a desire for a long-term profession.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Religion and morals can at times be interrelated within health care. The client wants to maintain the baby until natural delivery occurs because having an abortion would be against her religion. The client is demonstrating her morals. The client may or may not be demonstrating sound judgment or a healthy decision. The nurse has no way of knowing if the client is in fear of retribution.
