Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder is characterized by a lack of interest in food and eating food. Pica is the persistent eating of substances other than food. Bulimia nervosa characterized by recurrent binge-eating episodes. Rumination disorder is the repeated regurgitation of food that is re-chewed, re-swallowed, or spit out.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Psychoanalytic theory considers eating disorders to be expressions of unconscious conflicts. Psychoanalytic theory relates anorexia nervosa to a food refusal due to an unconscious fear of oral impregnation and bulimia as an ominous variant. Conscious intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts, learned behavior regarding the effect of food, and disturbance in the body system are not aspects of the psychoanalytic perspective of eating disorders.
