Age Specific Patient Care Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
While auditing care plans for clients with eating disorders, the nurse realizes that a nursing diagnosis appropriate for a client with anorexia nervosa as well as for a client with bulimia nervosa is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (C): Chronic low self-esteem is appropriate for both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa clients as these disorders are often associated with poor body image and low self-worth. Clients with these disorders commonly struggle with feelings of inadequacy and self-criticism, leading to chronic low self-esteem. This nursing diagnosis addresses the underlying emotional issues that are prevalent in both anorexia and bulimia. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: Ineffective denial is not appropriate as clients with these disorders are often aware of their condition and may even have distorted perceptions about their body image. B: Adult failure to thrive is not suitable as this nursing diagnosis is typically used for older adults who are experiencing a decline in health and functioning, not specifically related to eating disorders. D: Risk for imbalanced body temperature is not relevant as it does not address the psychological and emotional aspects that are central to anorexia and bulimia.
Question 2 of 5
A short-term goal for a patient with anorexia nervosa is 'Patient will select and eat a balanced diet.' The nurse writes which of the following nursing interventions into the care plan that will foster attainment of this goal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assist the patient to fill out the dietary menus to ensure a balanced diet. This intervention is appropriate because it directly supports the goal of the patient selecting and eating a balanced diet. By assisting the patient in filling out dietary menus, the nurse can help the patient make informed choices about their food intake, ensuring they are consuming a variety of nutrients necessary for a balanced diet. This intervention promotes patient autonomy and education, empowering the patient to make healthier choices. Choice A is incorrect because allowing the patient to weigh themselves every time a meal is eaten does not directly address the goal of selecting and eating a balanced diet. Choice C is incorrect because encouraging compensatory exercise may lead to unhealthy behaviors and does not focus on achieving a balanced diet. Choice D is incorrect because implementing contracted consequences for incomplete meals may create a negative environment and does not promote a positive approach to achieving a balanced diet.
