Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An enmeshed family often puts a lot of importance on body image, social acceptance, and achievement. Expecting independence and self-reliance is not compatible with enmeshed family dynamics. The remaining options do not address the parent's question.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The priority is to begin refeeding, a procedure that involves tube feedings that are continued until the patient is voluntarily eating sufficient quantities. Refeeding takes place using foods and fluids via the GI tract, rather than by the parenteral route. Although refeeding is very threatening to the patient, since they have no control over the weight gain that will occur, su-icide precautions are not indicated at this point, but careful assessments will continue. A nu-tritional consult is not useful at this point in the treatment since the patient is not making choices regarding eating.
