    Men are more likely to suffer from eating disorders than women.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false. Contrary to popular belief, eating disorders are more commonly associated with women than men. Research and studies have consistently shown that women are more likely to suffer from eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. However, it is important to note that eating disorders can affect individuals of any gender, and the prevalence among men has been increasing in recent years. Nonetheless, the statement that men are more likely to suffer from eating disorders than women is not accurate.

    In which eating disorder would surgical interventions be an option?

    • Morbid Obesity

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia Nervosa

    Correct Answer
    A. Morbid Obesity
    Explanation
    Surgical interventions would be an option in the case of morbid obesity. This is because morbid obesity is a severe form of obesity that can significantly impact a person's health and quality of life. When other methods such as diet, exercise, and medication have failed to achieve significant weight loss, surgical interventions like gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery may be considered as a last resort to help the individual lose weight and improve their overall health.

    During a physical assessment, you notice your client has abrasions on her knuckles, yellowed teeth, and a raspy voice. Of what disorder are these signs and symptoms describing?

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia Nervosa

    • Morbid Obesity

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia Nervosa
    Explanation
    The signs and symptoms described, such as abrasions on the knuckles, yellowed teeth, and a raspy voice, are commonly associated with Bulimia Nervosa. Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise. The abrasions on the knuckles can be caused by repeated contact with teeth during vomiting, while the yellowed teeth and raspy voice can be a result of stomach acid damaging the teeth and throat.

    In which condition does an individual suffer from sleep disturbances (sometimes getting as little as 2-3 hours of sleep/night)?

    • Morbid Obesity

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia Nervosa

    Correct Answer
    A. Anorexia Nervosa
    Explanation
    An individual suffering from Anorexia Nervosa may experience sleep disturbances, sometimes getting as little as 2-3 hours of sleep per night. This eating disorder is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, leading to severe restrictions in food intake. The lack of adequate nutrition and low body weight can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle, causing difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep. Additionally, individuals with Anorexia Nervosa may experience anxiety and depression, which can further contribute to sleep disturbances.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia Nervosa
    Explanation
    Bulimia Nervosa is a condition characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives. During these binge episodes, individuals with bulimia consume a large amount of food in a short period of time, leading to excessive calorie intake. Therefore, it is likely for a client with bulimia nervosa to consume excessive calories, up to 50,000 per day.

The recognition of bulimia as an eating disorder in 1979 marked an important milestone in the understanding and treatment of this condition, leading to increased awareness and research in the field.
