Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
In bulimia and after binge eating, the patient may induce vomiting or take excessive quantities of laxatives or diuretics. Anorexic behaviors involve avoidance of eating. Laxative use is not a healthful means to control body weight. There is no discussion of the patient's perceived body image.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Anorexia nervosa typically begins during adolescence. Patients with anorexia nervosa have a distorted body image and irrational fear of gaining weight. Defiant behaviors involve rebellion. The child is not demonstrating that type of behavior. It is not normal for a preadolescent child to discontinue eating. The child is not demonstrating behaviors consistent with an internal power struggle.
