A client with an eating disorder that has resulted in weight loss to a point 15 below normal weight tells the nurse, I don't need to be hospitalized.
 
  I can control myself. The nurse continues to prepare the client for hospitalization because the vicious cycle of eating disorder behavior is fueled by:
  1. Feelings of power and control resulting from weight loss
  2. Dysfunctional family dynamics
  3. Faulty use of the defense mechanism projection
  4. Lack of superego constraints on behavior

ANS: 1
The cycle of eating disorders shown in the accompanying text shows the issue of power and con-trol as being paramount in several phases of the cycle. 2. Family dynamics are not as important an issue, but are rather one of the predisposing etiologic factors. 3. The cycle does not mention faulty use of projection. 4. Lack of superego constraints are not mentioned in the cycle.
