1

Which of the following statements accurately characterizes the moral management approach to treating the physical and mental disorders of mentally ill patients?

2

Compare and contrast MRIs, PET scans, and fMRI.

The MRI measures variations in magnetic fields. It then computes and depicts cross sections of organs such as the brain with great clarity. It is noninvasive and allows for visualization of all but the tiniest brain structures. Its major problem is the claustrophobic reaction some people have to the procedure. PET scans track substances as they are metabolized by the brain. They can show how the brain is functioning-and they can help identify areas that are functioning abnormally, even in ways that might not be obvious anatomically. Their major problem is their low-fidelity pictures, which have so far limited their value. The fMRI measures changes in blood flow in the brain. It is possible to map ongoing psychological activity and show which areas of the brain are involved in different activities. However, like MRIs, these are very sensitive to movement, which can cause false results. Also, fMRIs are often very hard to interpret. GRADING RUBRIC: 6 points, 2 for accurately describing each imaging technique.

Summarize the specific factors that place males at risk for developing eating disorders?

One established risk factor for eating disorders in men is homosexuality. Gay and bisexual men have higher rates of eating disorders than heterosexual men do. Gay men (like heterosexual men) value attractiveness and youth in their romantic partners. Because gay men (like women) are seeking to be sexually attractive to men, body dissatisfaction may therefore be more of an issue for gay men than it is for heterosexual men. In support of this idea, Smith and colleagues found that gay men were more dissatisfied with their bodies and had higher levels of disordered eating than heterosexual men did. Moreover, gay men tended to believe that a potential mate would want them to be leaner than they themselves wanted to be. Other specific subgroups of men who are at higher risk of eating disorders are wrestlers and jockeys, who need to "make weight" in order to compete or work. GRADING RUBRIC: 10 points total, 5 for each factor.
