Question 1 of 5

What is the main issue for adolescents with anorexia?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Control. Adolescents with anorexia often have a strong desire for control over their lives, including their body and food intake. This need for control can manifest in restrictive eating behaviors. Anxiety (choice A) may be a symptom but is not the main issue. Body image (choice C) is a contributing factor, but not the primary issue. Appropriate behavior (choice D) is too broad and not specific to the core issue of control seen in anorexia.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse assesses that which of the following individuals is most likely to engage in binge-eating behaviors characteristic of bulimia?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because binge-eating behaviors are often associated with individuals who struggle to control their eating, leading to episodes of excessive food consumption. Being unable to stick to a diet indicates a lack of control, which is a key characteristic of binge-eating. Choice A focuses more on weight and height, which are not direct indicators of binge-eating. Choice C describes weight fluctuations, which may not necessarily be linked to binge-eating. Choice D emphasizes monitoring caloric intake for a specific goal, which does not necessarily indicate a loss of control over eating behavior.
