Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Depression is common in individuals with anorexia nervosa, and these individuals are at risk to attempt suicide. Paranoia and insomnia are not comorbid conditions associated with anorexia nervosa. Clients with anorexia nervosa have difficulty expressing anger, so aggression would be unlikely.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The most important concern when using SSRIs is decreased appetite and weight loss during the first few weeks of administration. Weight should be monitored, especially during this period. The intake of medication must be monitored for possible purging after administration. The effect of the medication will depend on whether it has had time to absorb. Monitoring fluid intake and menstrual irregularities are not associated with this group of medications.
