Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Physical findings of a patient with bulimia nervosa include abrasions and calluses on the knuckles, called Russell's sign, from self-inducing vomiting. Sunken eyes, skeletal appearance, and lanugo growth are more commonly related to anorexia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Patients with bulimia nervosa have shown brain atrophy in imaging studies, whereas patients with anorexia nervosa show alterations in brain structure, metabolism, and neurochemistry. The molecular genetic studies of both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa patients identify chromosomal genes and regions that contribute to risk of developing eating disorders on chromosomes 1, 4, and 10.
