Answer to Question 1

D
Helping the patient to understand that only the patient, and not others, can bring about personal change is part of level 4, realistic planning. The remaining options relate to self-exploration, expanded self-awareness, and self-evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Failure to improve is not associated with structured cognitive behavioral therapy. In fact, cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be more effective in treating bulimia than antidepressants alone. Impulsivity and depression in addition to the other mentioned issues may also be associated with failure to improve.
