Answer to Question 1

C
The symptoms of anorexia nervosa do not include purging. Correctly written outcomes must be client centered, specific, realistic, and measurable and also include a time frame.

Answer to Question 2

B
Based on Maslow's hierarchy, the priority nursing diagnosis for this client must address physical needs prior to emotional considerations. This client must be immediately physically stabilized due to the life-threatening nature of his or her nutritional status.
