Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Risk factors for eating disorders are perfectionism, low self-esteem, stress, poor coping skills, sexual/physical abuse, poor self-image, dependency on others' opinions and deference to others' wishes, and being emotionally reserved. Based on these descriptors and the typical characteristics of a person who has anorexia, the good girl demonstrates the greatest risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
It is a given that it is the parents' choice. As an advocate for the child, you can explain that children have a legal right to an appropriate public education based on the child's needs in the least-restrictive setting.
