Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
There are various strategies that can be used to encourage better eating habits in a person who is suffering from anorexia nervosa. They include providing small, frequent feedings; emphasizing foods that are served cold or at room temperature; and avoiding caffeine.

Answer to Question 2

D
As starvation continues, body tissues obtain more of their energy from ketone bodies. Ketone becomes the main source of body energy; glucose and glycogen stores are depleted. Amino acids from muscle stores are still catabolized to provide energy for the brain and red corpuscles, but this represents a small portion of total energy needs.
