Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Bulimia nervosa is a psychological disorder. The bulimic patient consumes large quantities of food and then induces vomiting to get rid of it so that weight is not gained. Laxatives may be taken to purge the system after an eating binge. Treatment of bulimia includes psychotherapy, antidepressant medication, and behavior modification. Appetite suppressants and exercise are not part of treatment for bulimia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

A
Corticosteroids should be taken every day. Corticosteroids should be administered with food. The medications should not be abruptly discontinued. To provide appropriate serum medication levels, they are not to be doubled or altered without physician consultation.
