Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Lithium should be taken with food, and fluids should be increased to 3000 mL daily.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patients with bulimia nervosa induce vomiting after consuming large quantities of food. This binge eating occurs in a frenzied state and usually in secrecy; afterward, the patient experiences feelings of shame and self-criticism. Laxatives may be taken to purge the system after the binge. Ninety percent of patients with bulimia are young women.
