Answer to Question 1

C
Frustration is common when client personality traits of perfectionism, obsessive thinking, and the
need to control therapy are present. Anger and frustration signal a need for supervision. Options A
and D are appropriate. Option B is empathetic and important to reflect to the client.

Answer to Question 2

A
One goal of health teaching is normalization of eating habits. Food restriction and skipping meals
lead to rebound bingeing. Option B will probably perpetuate the need to induce vomiting. Option C
will lead to late-day bingeing. Option D is highly undesirable.
