Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The discoloration of the teeth and metabolic alkalosis in a healthy adolescent would be highly suspicious of possible purging-type bulimia nervosa. Exercise level is difficult to determine because even normal activity levels can build well defined muscles. Anorexia nervosa would not explain the findings of teeth discoloration.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Major surgery involves a high degree of risk
