Answer to Question 1

1,3,5
Rationale: Educate clients and caregivers about adult daycare programs: Education about community-based programs such as adult daycare programs can provide respite for stressed and overwhelmed caregivers.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Physical symptoms include bradycardia, hypotension, arrhythmias, delayed gastric motility, and hypothyroid-like state. The symptoms of bradycardia and arrhythmias are what increase risk of death in individuals with anorexia. Tachycardia, hypertension, alopecia, and dry skin would not necessarily be expected in this client.
