"I spend lots of time searching for new recipes."
"I have so much energy."
"I enjoy wearing form-fitting clothes to show off my body."
"I know I am skinny."
The Correct Answer is D
Rationale:
A. Spending time searching for new recipes does not necessarily indicate anorexia nervosa and might be associated with interest in food without consumption.
B. Reporting high energy levels is not characteristic of anorexia nervosa, where clients often suffer from fatigue due to inadequate nutrition.
C. Enjoying wearing form-fitting clothes is more indicative of a positive body image, which is not typical of those with anorexia nervosa.
D. The statement "I know I am skinny" reflects an awareness of low body weight, which, in the context of anorexia nervosa, might indicate a distorted body image and an unhealthy focus on being underweight.
