Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, F
Theories related to the biologic domain include increased genetic vulnerability, dieting leading to starvation, and decreased serotonin activity. Separation-individuation and role pressures reflect psychological theories. Pursuit of thinness reflects social theories.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Self-monitoring is accomplished using a diary in which the client records binges and purges, precipitating emotions, and environmental cues. Emotional and environmental cues are identified, and alternative responses are suggested, tried, and reinforced. When a cue or stimulus leads to a dysfunctional or unhealthy response, the response can be eliminated or an alternate, healthier response to the cue can be substituted, tried, and then reinforced.
