Answer to Question 1

4. Set aside small nonfood rewards when you meet a goal.

Rationale:
When dieting, a small nonfood reward can serve as an incentive for working toward a goal. Eating is a social activity. Talking with others during mealtime promotes involvement. Drinking a beverage before eating promotes feelings of fullness and reduces intake at mealtime. A meal should be slated to last only 20 minutes. Eating longer can promote eating more.

Answer to Question 2

1. Age 71 years

Rationale:
Elderly clients are more vulnerable to fire and burn injury because of decreased visual acuity, depth perception, sense of smell, hearing, and impaired mobility. Alterations in cognition, such as dementia, are also risk factors. All of these factors increase the risk of accidentally starting a fire and diminish the ability to survive it. Hypertension does not increase the client's risk for experiencing a burn injury. Part-time employment and use of public transportation do not increase the client's risk of experiencing a burn injury.
