Answer to Question 1

A
The selection of subjects in the three historical 1950 studies differed from previous studies because participants were chosen at random from the communities. Random selection of subjects reduced the potential for bias.

Answer to Question 2

B
When working with a hospitalized client who also has a diagnosis for bulimia nervosa, the top priority would be to assess for any self-harm ideation and means for suicide. Both major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder are often diagnosed with people who have bulimia nervosa. Major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder are both illnesses with a high risk of attempted and completed suicide.
