Question 1 of 5
A client with anorexia nervosa engages in manipulative behavior. She tells the nurse, 'I can't get weighed this morning, because I drank a glass of juice a few minutes before breakfast.' The best approach by the nurse would be:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: The correct answer is D because it sets clear boundaries and enforces consistency by reminding the client of the established protocol. Step 2: By stating "This is weight day. Please step on the scale," the nurse maintains the structure and accountability in the treatment plan. Step 3: This response avoids reinforcing manipulative behavior and emphasizes the importance of following the agreed-upon rules for accurate monitoring. Step 4: Other choices like A may inadvertently validate the manipulation, B suggests giving in to the client's avoidance tactic, and C delays the weighing without addressing the manipulation directly.
Question 2 of 5
A major difference in assessment findings between a patient with anorexia nervosa and a patient with bulimia nervosa is the patient with bulimia:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a major difference between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa is that patients with bulimia are often of near-normal weight, while patients with anorexia are typically underweight. This is due to the different patterns of eating behaviors in the two disorders. In bulimia, individuals often engage in binge-eating episodes followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging, which may help maintain their weight. On the other hand, individuals with anorexia restrict their food intake significantly, leading to malnourishment and significant weight loss. Choice A is incorrect because individuals with bulimia can still experience malnourishment due to the purging behaviors. Choice B is incorrect because both patients with anorexia and bulimia may deny hunger due to their disordered eating behaviors. Choice D is incorrect because both disorders involve a distorted body image, although the specific nature of the distortion may differ.
