Answer to Question 1

A
Fasting, binging, and purging are the three behaviors that represent the main aspects of bulimia nervosa. There are estimates that this disorder affects 1 to 3 of all adolescent females, with a significantly lower number of adolescent males affected. There are grave physiological and psychological consequences from engaging in bulimia nervosa. Typically, those engaging in bulimia nervosa hide their activities and face a risk of being discovered by parents or other family members.

Answer to Question 2

A
Adolescence is a time for exploration before adulthood. Without any other behavioral changes, the adolescent may just be interested in history, so it would be most therapeutic for the nurse to obtain further information from the parent before seeing the adolescent or recommending help.
