  The nurse discusses the potential for the use of certain dietary supplements and suggests that the mother's diet include: 1. Kava.
  2. Thiamine.
  3. Omega-3 fatty acids.
  4. Ginkgo leaf extract.

Question 2

  2. Constant over-eating
  3. Obsessive rituals
  4. Little anxiety regarding food

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Omega-3 fatty acids may slow the cognitive and functional decline in Alzheimer's disease. Thiamine, when taken orally, is likely safe for alcoholic encephalopathy. Ginkgo leaf extract, when taken orally, is likely safe for dementia. Kava is comparable to low-dose benzodiazepines for short-term treatment of anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: To control themselves and their environment, these individuals develop rigid rules. The rigidity often develops into obsessive rituals, particularly concerning eating and exercise.
