Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Distorted body image and belief and fear of being fat, which are essentially cultural in origin, are criteria of both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. All connections are overshadowed and replaced with a self-perpetuating cycle of food consumption, restriction, and loss of control to expel all nutrients at the cost of the patient in the spiritual domain for patients with eating disorders. The sociological domain includes environmental factors, such as family and peer relationships and media portrayals of thinness, which reinforce eating disorder behaviors. The psychological domain includes distorted thoughts and perceptions of self on body shape and the ability to control weight.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Patients with binge-eating disorder are usually overweight or obese. Patients who are obese experience impaired functioning on psychosocial measures and impairment in physical functioning related to obesity as compared to individuals without eating disorders. Patients who binge eat are less likely to become hungry, anorexic, or emaciated.
