Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Feeling a sense of power by restricting food intake is more indicative of anorexia nervosa rather than bulimia nervosa.

B. This statement is indicative of bulimia nervosa because individuals with this eating disorder often experience a cycle of bingeing (eating large amounts of food in a short period) and purging (attempting to rid oneself of the food consumed during the binge). The "emotional high" can be associated with the temporary relief from negative emotions that bingeing provides, followed by purging to mitigate guilt and maintain body weight.

C. While secrecy about bingeing and purging behaviors is common in bulimia nervosa, the statement does not explicitly mention the emotional aspect during these episodes, which is a key feature of the disorder.

D. Using laxatives only when constipated does not necessarily indicate bulimia nervosa. Individuals with bulimia nervosa often use laxatives as part of their purging behavior.

A. "I don't bother to track the number of calories I eat in a week." B. "I have certain foods, like pizza, that cause me a lot of fear." C. "I restrict myself to 2,000 calories per day."" D. "I don't eat because I do not like the taste of food."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Clients with anorexia nervosa are typically very aware of their calorie intake.

B. It is common for clients with anorexia nervosa to have fear foods that they avoid due to fear of gaining weight.

C. A calorie intake of 2,000 per day is generally within normal limits and would not be typical for someone with anorexia nervosa.

D. Clients with anorexia nervosa usually restrict food intake due to fear of weight gain rather than a dislike of the taste of food.
