Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
An adolescent with anorexia often exhibits a low body temperature; bradycardia; and hypotension; as well as soft, sparse body hair and thinning scalp hair.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Punishment for misbehaving would be inappropriate because it would lead to negative feelings and further decrease self-esteem. Appropriate behavior management strategies include time-outs, positive reinforcement, reward or privilege withdrawal, or a token system. Setting realistic goals also is helpful to foster self-esteem and independence.
