- 1.
Which eating disorder has an increased risk for pneumonia
- A.
Anorexia Nervosa
- B.
Bulimia
Correct Answer
B. BulimiaExplanation
Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging behaviors such as self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise. These purging behaviors can lead to repeated episodes of vomiting, which increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia occurs when food, stomach acid, or saliva is inhaled into the lungs, causing infection and inflammation. Therefore, individuals with bulimia are at an increased risk for pneumonia compared to those with anorexia nervosa, which does not involve purging behaviors.Rate this question:
