Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5
Rationale: The nurse should recognize that group therapy, medication management, supportive family therapy, and social skills training all play an integral part of rehabilitative programs for clients diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Schizophrenia results from various combinations of genetic predispositions, biochemical dysfunctions, physiological factors, and psychological stress. Effective treatment requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary effort.

Answer to Question 2

A
Characteristics of the personality of female teens with anorexia nervosa include being excessively cooperative and achievement oriented and having a body image of being overweight. Underachievement and positive self-esteem are opposite traits to those seen in a teen with anorexia nervosa, and normal body weight may characterize a teen with a healthy self-concept, or it may be a characteristic of bulimia.
