Question

Emilio Saenz · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : E, Explanation :  Recurrent compensatory behaviors in individuals with bulimia nervosa refer to actions taken to counteract or make up for the calories consumed during binge eating episodes. This includes self-induced vomiting and the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas, but not necessarily dieting, as dieting is more of a preventative measure rather than a compensatory one.
