Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Helping the client identify thoughts will pave the way to learning effective coping mechanisms to deal with them. 1. The client needs to learn to bear and deal effectively with her own discomfort. 2. The nurse is taking control without allowing the client the opportunity to deal with her own issues. 3. The nurse should encourage the client to deal with her feelings and issues, rather than sit passively with her.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
1. Attaining the desired weight is the best goal. 2. Resumption of the menstrual period may take an extended time. 3. Having knowledge of nutrition does not ensure that the client will apply it. 4. Exercising three times a day is considered excessive.
