Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Family education and engagement can support the patient's family in developing their coping skills for responding empathically and knowledgably to the family member who is struggling with mental illness. There is no indication that the patient is seeking or even ready for job training and employment at this time. The patient does not have a dual diagnosis. Partial hospitalization programs offer an intensive level of support that may not be necessary if the patient is stable on his medications and able to live at home.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation: Family, group, and individual counseling are all effective treatment options for anorexia nervosa and are often combined. There are no specific medications used in the treatment of anorexia. ACT programs are used with patients requiring comprehensive and intensive community supports.
