Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
There are known to be both familial and genetic contributors to eating disorders. Weight loss does not relieve the thinking or behaviors that characterize the disorders, and there are serious health consequences to being underweight.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Preoccupation with body image, lack of fat, and the use of vomiting are common to persons with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. However, the practice of bingeing is particular to bulimia nervosa and is absent in the person who has anorexia nervosa.
