Answer to Question 1

B
A distorted body image means that an individual's perception of his or her body differs from re-ality. The distortion is the difference between perception and reality rather than an actual distor-tion in body proportions. Distorted body image is often associated with dissatisfaction with per-sonal appearance, but an individual may have an accurate body image and still be dissatisfied.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Most adolescent females require about 2,000 kcalories/day to support growth. Daily caloric intake should be about 2,200 kcalories for adolescent females to support growth. The average caloric requirement for adolescent females is about 2,000 kcalories/day with 45 grams of protein. Male adolescents have a higher daily caloric requirement than females of about 2,5003,000 calories with 50 grams of protein.
