Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Transient depression is a normal reaction to loss, such as the death of a loved one; disappointment, such as being fired; or overwhelming events, such as being heavily in debt. Sadness directly attributable to such situations is normal and self-limiting

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Emotional reasoning means relying on emotions to determine reality. An example of emotional reasoning in clients with eating disorders is I know I'm fat because I feel fat. The other listed statements do not demonstrate this relationship between beliefs and emotions.
