Answer to Question 1

C
Early intervention and education are the best interventions for the treatment and prevention of childhood obesity. Teaching about healthy eating habits provides the tools necessary to correct the problem with long-term success. Placing the client on a strictly controlled calorie-restricted diet provides no education and most likely will cause a rebound effect. Talking to the client about why he is overweight may be an intervention that would occur later in the treatment process after further assessment is completed. Making a list of restricted foods also may cause a rebound effect.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The instructor should explain that partial hospitalization does not provide supervision 24 hours a day. Partial hospitalization programs generally offer a comprehensive treatment plan formulated by an interdisciplinary team. They have proved to be an effective method of preventing hospitalization.
