Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The adolescent with bulimia would exhibit calluses on the back of the knuckles and split fingernails and would be of normal weight or slightly overweight. A body mass index of 17, nail pitting, and bradycardia would suggest anorexia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Consistency and predictability are the cornerstones of discipline. Establishing rules and expectations, collaborating to determine the consequences, and explaining the rules are all important, but they are not as important as being consistent.
