Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
These are types of eating disorders. The other options describe sleeping disorders.

Answer to Question 2

B
The average length of stay for a mental illness is 10 days. The short inpatient stay, combined with a short community care involvement often leads to recidivism, as the immediate goal in the inpatient setting is to help the client control his or her behavior.
