Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients with eating disorders have distorted body images; they see themselves as overweight even when their weight is subnormal. I'm thin for my height is therefore unlikely to be heard from a patient with anorexia nervosa. Poor self-image precludes making positive statements about self, such as I have nice eyes. Many patients with eating disorders see supportive others as intrusive and out of tune with their needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Prominent parotid glands are associated with repeated vomiting. The other options are signs of anorexia nervosa and are not usually observed in bulimia.
