Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Family systems theories emphasize the role of the family in the development of eating disorders. Among the characteristics that are thought to contribute are enmeshed patterns of relationship and impaired communication. The absence of a parent and/or the presence of a step-parent has not been emphasized. Passive parenting styles, lack of encouragement, and an overemphasis on peer relationships are not healthy patterns of being, but none has been identified as a specific contributor to eating disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Cardiovascular effects of obesity include hypertension, CAD, varicose veins, left ventricular hypertrophy, and heart failure. Urinary incontinence is a genitourinary consequence of obesity. Arthritis is a musculoskeletal complication of obesity. Skin irritation or breakdown can occur.
