Answer to Question 1

B
A contract emphasizes that the nurse works with the patient rather than doing something for the patient. Working with is a process that suggests each party is expected to participate and share responsibility for outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E, F
Priority milieu interventions support restoration of weight and normalization of eating patterns. This requires close supervision of the patient's eating and prevention of exercise, purging, and so forth. Menus and mealtimes are precisely observed, not flexible. Observation is maintained during and after meals to prevent throwing away food or purging. All trips to the bathroom are monitored. Weighing is performed on a regular schedule. Privileges are correlated with weight gain and treatment plan adherence.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
