Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The parents of an adolescent with anorexia nervosa have often set very high standards that the child fears cannot be met.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The patient's view of self as fat indicates a distorted body image. This has nothing to do with knowledge about nutrition. Suicide is generally not viewed as a motivation in self-starvation.
