A nursing student is researching the various domains of eating disorders. From a psychoanalytic perspective, what are eating disorders related to?
1. Disturbance in the body system
2. Learned behavior regarding the effect of food
3. Conscious intrapersonal and interpersonal conflict
4. Refusal of food due to an unconscious fear of oral impregnation
Answer: 4
Explanation: Psychoanalytic theory considers eating disorders to be expressions of unconscious conflicts. Psychoanalytic theory relates anorexia nervosa to a food refusal due to an unconscious fear of oral impregnation and bulimia as an "ominous variant." Conscious intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts, learned behavior regarding the effect of food, and disturbance in the body system are not aspects of the psychoanalytic perspective of eating disorders.
