Answer to Question 1

B
Individuals with anorexia nervosa without bingeing or purging tend to deny the experience of hunger, are introverted, rarely use laxatives or diuretics, and tend to be sexually inactive.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients with whom the nurse has established rapport will feel understood by the examiner and will be more willing to cooperate with the examiner's questions. Although the remaining options have an impact on the success of the interview, they are not the primary factor.
