Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Amenorrhea is common in patients with eating disorders, possibly due to altered hypotha-lamic function. The remaining options are not usually related to changes resulting from an eating disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Women in this culture are bombarded by the fashion industry and media messages equating beauty with thinness. Although it is true that eating disorders are less common in countries where food is not abundant, in this culture persons with eating disorders tend not to choose nutritious foods. Workplace competition with men would be of greater significance than this broad statement. The biologic tendency to be overweight may influence some persons.
