Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Cognitive theory suggests that one's thought processes are the basis of emotions and behavior.
Changing faulty learning makes development of new adaptive behaviors possible. Option A would
be used in psychoanalytically oriented therapy. Option B is an intervention associated with
biological therapy. Option D is not an appropriate intervention. Medical diagnosis is the prerogative
of the medical practitioner or advanced practice registered nurse.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client's history supports this nursing diagnosis. Options A, B, and C: Data are not present that
the client uses laxatives, induces vomiting, or exercises excessively.
