Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
The mortality rate for anorexia due to complications of starvation, cardiac arrest, or suicide is approximately 5 per decade of follow-up. Death usually results from dehydration, loss of critical muscle mass, electrolyte imbalances, or suicide, because often clients are not seen by health professionals until the disorder has resulted in some physical problems.

Answer to Question 2

The correct order is 4, 2, 3, 1
Rationale: John Bowlby hypothesized four stages in the grief process. He implies that these behaviors can be observed in all individuals who have experienced the loss of something or someone of value, even in babies as young as 6 months of age.
1. Numbness/Protest
2. Disequilibrium
3. Disorganization and despair
4. Reorganization
