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.
