After gathering and analyzing anthropometric data, the nurse concludes that a client has a "pear" body type. What analysis led the nurse to that conclusion?
1. A waist-to-hip ratio of 1.05
2. A waist-to-hip ratio of 0.90
3. A waist-to-hip ratio of 0.85
4. A waist-to-hip ratio of 0.78
4
Rationale: The waist-to-hip ratio is calculated by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement. "Pear" body types have a ratio at or below 0.8; "apple" body types have a ratio near or exceeding 1.0.

A client reports to her counselor that she witnessed other clients talking and behaving "inappropriately" in the clinic waiting room
The client asks about these other clients' conditions and suggests, "Perhaps if we form a support group, I can help them." The MOST therapeutic response from the counselor would be to say: a. "Thanks for offering! The theory of group therapy is to help each other out, so perhaps we can try it for a short period of time and see how it goes." b. "I appreciate your concern for others; however, it would help each of you the most if you each worked on your own individual issues as recommended by your treatment team." c. "Thanks for telling me about it! I'll be sure to pass it on to their counselors and see what can be done to fix the problem in the waiting room." d. "Well, how did you suddenly get to be so smart? Next I suppose you'll expect to be hired as a staff member!"
