Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The client is critical of her mother, verbalizes feelings of helplessness by saying that she does whatever her mother wants her to do, and is critical of self by saying she cannot do anything right. These findings help the nurse assess the client's self-esteem. Role performance would be assessed by asking the client about the different roles held and the satisfaction with each of the roles. Body image would be assessed by asking the client how she feels about her appearance. Personal identity would be assessed by asking the client to describe personal characteristics and self-concept.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

In bulimia, binge eating is followed by purging. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by extreme perfectionism, weight fear, significant weight loss, body image disturbances, strenuous exercising, and peculiar food-handling patterns. Binge-eating is often associated with obesity and is characterized by binging twice a week for at least 6 months. Purging is not associated with the binge-eating disorder. In the purging disorder, purging is done without the ingestion of food beforehand.
