Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who is admitted to the ER with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The nurse notes during the assessment that the patient's ribs and xiphoid process are prominent. The patient states she exercises two to three times daily and her mother indicates that she is being treated for anorexia nervosa. How should the nurse best follow up these assessment data?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anorexia nervosa suggests malnutrition, risking electrolyte imbalances like hypokalemia, critical to correct pre-surgery to avoid metabolic issues. Dehiscence links more to obesity; pain management is routine; a high-sodium diet lacks evidence here. The nurse prioritizes physiologic stability, per preoperative assessment.
