Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The priority is to begin refeeding, a procedure that is very threatening to the client, since she will have no control over the weight gain that will occur. Refeeding takes place using foods and flu-ids via the GI tract, rather than by the parenteral route (option 1). 3. Suicide precautions are not indicated at this point, but careful assessments will continue. 4. Visitor restriction is not as com-monly used in general hospital units as it might be on a unit accustomed to behavioral interven-tions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Stating satisfaction with a photo of her current appearance indicates a realistic view of body shape and size. Option 1 indicates she still views her body unrealistically. Option 2 expresses her boyfriend's opinion, not her own. Option 4 does not reveal her opinion of her body.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.
