ALREADY GRADED A+, with the strongest emphasis placed on Critically evaluate current
research and apply evidence-based practices in eating disorder treatment, Integrate
multidisciplinary knowledge to formulate complex clinical cases and treatment plans and
Demonstrate mastery of ethical and professional standards in eating disorder care. Every item
follows the wording style and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired
with a clear rationale so the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own
pace, mark the questions that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels
automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind
the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is
what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 CRITICALLY EVALUATE CURRENT RESEARCH AND APPLY EVIDENCE-BASED
PRACTICES IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
In the neurobiological model of anorexia nervosa, which finding best explains the
persistence of restrictive eating despite severe emaciation?
A. Overactivity of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway resulting in heightened reward sensitivity to
food
B. Reduced activity in the insula and prefrontal cortex leading to impaired interoceptive
awareness and cognitive control CORRECT
C. Hyperactivation of the amygdala in response to food cues, which is paradoxically reduced
after weight restoration
D. Elevated serotonin receptor binding in the caudate nucleus that normalizes with weight gain
RATIONALE: Anorexia nervosa is associated with altered interoceptive processing and impaired
cognitive control, with reduced insula and prefrontal cortex activity contributing to the inability to
recognize hunger and override restrictive behaviors. Dopamine reward pathways are typically
hypo-responsive, not hyperactive, to food. Amygdala hyperactivation is seen but does not directly
explain persistence. Serotonin alterations are more related to anxiety and obsessionality.

,Q2 CRITICALLY EVALUATE CURRENT RESEARCH AND APPLY EVIDENCE-BASED
PRACTICES IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
A patient with bulimia nervosa presents with hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis.
Which compensatory renal mechanism is most directly responsible for the
maintenance of metabolic alkalosis in this setting?
A. Increased aldosterone secretion leading to enhanced sodium reabsorption and potassium
excretion
B. Increased renal bicarbonate reabsorption driven by chloride depletion CORRECT
C. Decreased hydrogen ion secretion due to volume contraction
D. Increased renal ammoniagenesis stimulating bicarbonate generation
RATIONALE: In bulimia nervosa, chronic vomiting causes chloride depletion, which forces the
kidneys to reabsorb bicarbonate to maintain electroneutrality, perpetuating metabolic alkalosis.
Aldosterone secretion increases due to volume contraction but contributes to potassium loss, not
alkalosis maintenance. Decreased hydrogen ion secretion would worsen alkalosis but is not the
primary maintenance mechanism. Ammoniagenesis is increased in metabolic acidosis, not
alkalosis.
Q3 CRITICALLY EVALUATE CURRENT RESEARCH AND APPLY EVIDENCE-BASED
PRACTICES IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
Which of the following best distinguishes specific phobia of vomiting
(emetophobia) from anorexia nervosa in a patient who presents with severe
dietary restriction?
A. Presence of body image disturbance
B. Primary motivation is fear of vomiting rather than weight gain CORRECT
C. Lack of compensatory behaviors
D. Onset in early childhood
RATIONALE: Emetophobia is characterized by a fear of vomiting, leading to restrictive eating to
avoid nausea or vomiting, whereas anorexia nervosa is driven by fear of weight gain and body
image disturbance. Body image disturbance is not present in emetophobia. Compensatory
behaviors may be absent in both. Onset can occur at any age.

, Q4 CRITICALLY EVALUATE CURRENT RESEARCH AND APPLY EVIDENCE-BASED
PRACTICES IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
In Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for adolescents with anorexia nervosa, which
mechanism is hypothesized to be the core therapeutic element that distinguishes
it from individual therapy?
A. Cognitive restructuring of the adolescent's distorted thoughts
B. Parental empowerment to temporarily take control of refeeding CORRECT
C. Increasing adolescent autonomy in meal planning
D. Addressing underlying family conflict and communication patterns
RATIONALE: FBT's key mechanism is the externalization of the illness and parental
management of refeeding, which interrupts the eating disorder's control over the adolescent.
Cognitive restructuring is a component of CBT, not FBT. FBT initially limits adolescent autonomy
in food choices. While family patterns are addressed, the primary focus is on refeeding, not
conflict resolution.
Q5 CRITICALLY EVALUATE CURRENT RESEARCH AND APPLY EVIDENCE-BASED
PRACTICES IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
Which of the following is the most critical reason for monitoring serum
phosphorus levels during the early refeeding of a severely malnourished patient
with anorexia nervosa?
A. To assess for refeeding syndrome risk and guide electrolyte replacement CORRECT
B. To evaluate renal function and adjust hydration
C. To determine the need for thiamine supplementation
D. To monitor the effectiveness of caloric advancement
RATIONALE: Refeeding syndrome is characterized by severe hypophosphatemia, which can
lead to cardiac and respiratory failure; monitoring phosphorus is essential to detect and treat it.
Renal function is generally assessed with creatinine, not phosphorus. Thiamine is given
prophylactically but not monitored via phosphorus. Caloric advancement is not directly reflected
by phosphorus levels.
