Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Life-threatening complications of anorexia nervosa include lowered blood pressure, bradycardia, hypokalemia (low potassium), and congestive heart failure. Death may occur.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse resident should be instructed to eat a nonfat meal during the day when on night shifts. The nurse resident should avoid drinking warm milk because it promotes sleep. The nurse resident need not avoid caffeine during the shift, but should limit caffeine intake after about 3 AM. Snacks should be consumed during the shift, but not too many, because they will lead to weight gain.
