It is important to note that anorexia is a complex mental health disorder that involves more than just a loss of appetite, as it also involves distorted body image and an intense fear of gaining weight.

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrolytes
    Explanation
    Electrolytes are minerals such as sodium, potassium, and chloride that become electrically charged when dissolved in body fluids. They play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including maintaining fluid balance, transmitting nerve signals, and contracting muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is electrolytes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Weight cycling
    Explanation
    Weight cycling refers to the pattern of rapid ups and downs in weight that are commonly known as "yo-yo" dieting. This occurs when individuals repeatedly lose and regain weight through cycles of dieting and then returning to their previous eating habits. Weight cycling can have negative effects on both physical and mental health, and it is important to adopt sustainable and healthy lifestyle changes instead of engaging in extreme and temporary dieting practices.

    What are ways used to purge for bulimics?

    • Excercise

    • Vomit

    • diurectics

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The ways used to purge for bulimics include exercising, vomiting, and using diuretics. These methods are commonly used by individuals with bulimia to rid their bodies of the food they have consumed. Exercising helps burn calories and can be used as a form of purging. Vomiting involves intentionally inducing vomiting after eating. Diuretics are substances that increase urine production and can be used to eliminate water weight. The correct answer is "all of the above" because all three methods are commonly used by bulimics to purge.

    The minimum amount of energy needed to maintain the body's systems is called what?

    • Metabolism

    • Vasal metabolism

    • Electrolytes

    • Food and water

    Correct Answer
    A. Vasal metabolism
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "basal metabolism." Basal metabolism refers to the minimum amount of energy required to maintain the body's basic functions at rest. It includes processes such as breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining body temperature. Vasal metabolism and electrolytes are not accurate terms for describing the minimum energy needed to maintain the body's systems. While food and water are essential for providing energy, they do not specifically refer to the minimum amount needed for basic bodily functions.

    • Vasal metabolism

    • Food

    • Water

    • Electrolytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Water is the best thing to replace or restore body fluids because it is essential for hydration and maintaining proper bodily functions. Water helps in regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, transporting nutrients, and removing waste products. It is also involved in the processes of digestion, absorption, and metabolism. While food and electrolytes are important for overall health, water is specifically crucial for replenishing and balancing body fluids.

  • 11. 

    The depressant effect of starvation is:

    • Decreased basal metabolic rate

    • Antidepressant drugs

    • Psychological health problem

    • Depression

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreased basal metabolic rate
    Explanation
    The depressant effect of starvation refers to the decrease in the basal metabolic rate. When the body is deprived of adequate food and nutrients, it slows down its metabolic processes to conserve energy. This decrease in metabolic rate can lead to various physiological changes, such as weight loss, fatigue, and decreased body temperature. It is a natural response of the body to adapt to the lack of food and energy availability.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which is a contributing factor of eating disorders?

    • Family pressures

    • High self-esteem

    • Both A and B

    • none of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Family pressures
    Explanation
    Family pressures can contribute to the development of eating disorders. This is because family dynamics, such as high expectations, criticism, or an emphasis on appearance, can create a stressful environment that may lead individuals to develop unhealthy relationships with food and their bodies. These pressures can also contribute to feelings of low self-esteem and dissatisfaction with one's body image, further increasing the risk of developing an eating disorder.

    • Metabolism

    • Vomiting

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Eating disorders are not about what?

    • Food

    • Metabolism

    • Binge eating disorder

    • Hunger

    Correct Answer
    A. Hunger
    Explanation
    Eating disorders are not solely about hunger. While they can involve disturbances in hunger cues, eating disorders encompass psychological, emotional, and behavioral factors that extend beyond simple hunger or appetite regulation. They often involve complex relationships with food, body image, emotions, and self-esteem.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Which of the eating disorders is related to an addictive personality?

    • Bulimia nervosa

    • Aneorexia nervosa

    • Binge eating disorder

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia nervosa
    Explanation
    Bulimia nervosa is related to an addictive personality because individuals with this eating disorder often engage in episodes of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise. These behaviors can become compulsive and difficult to control, similar to addictive behaviors. Additionally, individuals with bulimia nervosa may experience feelings of loss of control during binge episodes, which is also characteristic of addictive behaviors. Therefore, bulimia nervosa is the eating disorder that is related to an addictive personality.
