Answer to Question 1

D
The three objectives are increasing self-esteem, increasing weight to 90 of average body weight, and reestablishing appropriate eating behavior. Reading cookbooks or planning nutritious meals may be evidence of manipulation. A low residual volume simply indicates that the patient is utilizing the feedings and there is no intestinal obstruction. Lack of fear does not translate to proper eating or an improved self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

A
Apraxia is the inability to carry out motor activities despite intact motor function. The patient activity that would be altered by lack of motor function is grooming and hygiene.
