Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cognitive therapy emphasizes the importance of changing erroneous ways people think about
themselves. Once faulty thinking is changed, the individual's behavior changes. Option A describes
a psychoanalytic approach. Option B describes behavior modification, and option C relates to
transactional analysis.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nursing intervention of observing for adverse side effects of refeeding most directly relates to
the goal of weight gain. Options A and C would relate to goals dealing with coping. Option D is an
inappropriate intervention.
