Answer to Question 1

D
The assessment reveals cachexia, thus the diagnosis of imbalanced nutrition. No defining characteristics support the other diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

B
Homeopathy uses small doses of a substance to stimulate the body's defenses and healing mechanisms to treat illness. Naturopathy emphasizes health restoration rather than disease. Chiropractic uses manipulation of the body to restore health. Shiatsu is a type of massage.
