Answer to Question 1

B
Rigid thinking, inability to demonstrate flexibility, and difficulty changing cognitions are characteristic of patients with eating disorders. The distracters are rarely seen in patients with eating disorders, for which inflexibility, controlled emotions, and pessimism are more the rule.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E

Because the patient is suspicious and fearful, reassuring safety may be helpful, although trust is unlikely so early in the relationship. It is important for the nurse to try to understand the patient's views.
