Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Making statements about a client's size or weight may cause them to react defensively or feel stigmatized. Most clients are aware that they are overweight so restating an obvious
fact is not necessary. Asking how the client feels about his weight allows him to share his perceptions of his weight and provides direction about what intervention might be most helpful. Although a family history of obesity could be a factor related to the client's eating disorder, it should not be the first question that is examined.

Answer to Question 2

B
High nutrient bioavailability and resistance to infection are two advantages of breastfeeding. Formula cannot fully mimic these advantages. Breastfeeding does reduce risk of allergies, but not due to these factors.
