Question 1 of 5
A client with anorexia nervosa has refused meal trays and supplemental feedings for 3 days following admission to the general hospital. The nurse can anticipate that intervention will include:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Tube feedings until the client eats 90% of all meals for 1 day. This intervention is appropriate for a client with anorexia nervosa who is refusing to eat. Tube feedings ensure adequate nutrition while also encouraging the client to resume eating orally. It is a gradual approach that aims to transition the client back to regular eating habits. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: IV infusions are not the first-line intervention for a client with anorexia nervosa refusing to eat. This choice does not address the underlying issue of the client's refusal to eat. C: Placing the client on suicide precautions and one-to-one observation is not indicated solely based on refusal to eat. This choice does not address the nutritional needs of the client. D: Limiting peer group visitors for 2 weeks does not address the client's refusal to eat and is not a relevant intervention in this situation.
Question 2 of 5

Step 5: Controlling personal stressors (B) may be important but does not address the underlying issue of control related to food and body. Step 6: Avoiding social interactions (D) does not address the core psychological need for control and can further isolate the patient.
