Answer to Question 1

A
Some research indicates that men with eating disorders have a higher incidence of concerns about sexual or gender identity. Homosexuality may also play a role. None of the remaining options reflect this concern.

Answer to Question 2

B
This response is matter-of-fact and reinforces the established limits. The distracters allow the patient to manipulate the nurse, are overly controlling, or use bargaining.
