a. in fourth-graders.
b. in rebellious, aggressive girls.
c. during summer breaks and around holidays.
d. at transitions between elementary, middle, and high school.
D
Junior high and high school students are at particular risk for eating disorders, based on our culture's emphasis on thinness and the adolescent's need for peer approval. Stress makes the adolescent more vulnerable. Times of particular stress are moving from one school to another—thus, the need for vigilance on the part of the school nurse. Risk is lower in the other options.
