Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: While patients with eating disorders are plagued by low self-esteem and self-worth, which are dependent upon a quest for perfection of extreme thinness, they also struggle with the need to control how the body gains/loses weight and the type of body shape that they perceive to be acceptable. With this struggle for control, disordered eating patterns become evident. The perception of thinness and personal competence are linked to improved social status and self-regard. Purging fulfills the need for self-control, power, and relief from tension. Patients with bulimia nervosa are not seeking attention.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Attractiveness is strongly equated with thinness, which is frequently glamorized in the media. This is detrimental to the patient with an eating disorder. Articles about eating disorders, programs that emphasize good nutrition, and information about coping behaviors would be beneficial to the patient with an eating disorder, not detrimental.
