which of the following usually occurs with anorexia nervosa?
○ hair becomes coarse and thick
○ wears skimpy clothing because she is hot all the time
○ occasional episodes of binge eating
○ absence of menstruation

Explanation:

First Question (Which of the following is a potential cause of disordered eating?):

To determine a potential cause of disordered eating, we analyze each option:

• "Diet culture influence": Diet culture emphasizes thinness and restrictive eating, which can lead to disordered eating behaviors.
• "Googling for information on the internet": General info - seeking is not a direct cause.
• "Having an outgoing personality": Personality type is not a known direct cause of disordered eating.
• "Most nutrition experts being underweight": Nutrition experts’ weight is unrelated to causing disordered eating.

So, diet culture influence is a potential cause.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder with physical/physiological consequences:

• "Hair becomes coarse and thick": Not typical (hair often becomes thin/fine).
• "Wears skimpy clothing because she is hot all the time": Anorexia patients are often cold, not hot.
• "Occasional episodes of binge eating": Binge eating is more associated with bulimia; anorexia (restricting type) lacks bingeing.
• "Absence of menstruation (amenorrhea)": Severe calorie restriction in anorexia disrupts hormonal balance, causing amenorrhea.

Answer:

A. Diet culture influence
