Answer to Question 1

C
Rogers v. Orkin was a case in which the court ruled that nonviolent patients could not be forced to take medication. It did not have implications related to hospitalization or application of patient privileges.

Answer to Question 2

B
Research has shown that the hypothalamus is involved with eating and satiety, so dysfunction might be a factor in anorexia nervosa. Research has not implicated any of the other brain structures listed in anorexia nervosa.
