Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Bezoars are undigested food masses that result from food being in the intestine too long due to bowel paresis and can eventually cause obstruction. Adding fiber to the diet of a client with IBS should improve the management of both diarrhea and constipation, a main goal of treatment. Steatorrhea results from malabsorption of fat in inflammatory bowel disease. Decreased stress and treatment with antidepressants are often used as adjunctive treatment of IBS.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rationalizing applies reasonable explanations to behaviors; for, example using a busy schedule to justify poor food choices. Rationing food is an example of restrained eating. Coping with stress using biofeedback techniques and identifying emotional triggers for eating are useful behavioral techniques that can help promote health.
