Answer to Question 1

B
Depression is a diagnosis that often complicates bulimia. The depression can also lead to suicide attempts or completed suicides. Other disorders that may be associated with bulimia are anorexia-nervosa, substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

B
According to the Family Life-Cycle Model, the family with adolescents has three major tasks. First the couple begins to focus on midlife marital and career issues. Second, there is a shifting of the parent-child relationships to permit the adolescent to move into or out of the system. Third, there is a beginning shift toward joint caring for the older generation.
