Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Eating disorders are difficult to treat, and often the entire family is involved in therapy. The best approach is often a multidisciplinary team with expertise in this topic. The other services may be needed on a case-by-case basis, but overall the best referral is to a treatment center that uses a multidisciplinary team.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should encourage the entire family to engage in physically active and fun events. What people like, they will continue to do. The nurse can help the family members identify activities they enjoy or help them discover new ones. Setting rigid and unrealistic exercise goals is likely to fail. Restricted diets are also not recommended for children, as they contribute to eating and weight problems. The nurse should not set goals for the child, but rather plan goals together with the child and family.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
