Answer to Question 1

C, D
These are two of the four criteria for the diagnosis of bulimia. Bulimia criteria include recurring episodes of binge eating rather than only occasional episodes; refusal to maintain body weight that is more than 15 below normal is a criterion for the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
The intent of guided imagery to assist patients manage stress is to lead the patient to envision images that are calming and health enhancing. Statements that involve the patient calming progressively with breathing, feeling increasingly relaxed, being in a calm and pleasant location, being away from stressors, and having a peaceful and calm mind are therapeutic and should be included in the script. However, items that raise stressful images or memories or that involve unrealistic expectations or elements beyond the patient's control (e.g., that others will treat the patient as he desires, that everything is going the patient's way, that bosses are understanding) interfere with relaxation and/or do not promote effective coping. Thus these are not health promoting and should not be included in the script.
