Question 1 of 5

A client with an eating disorder tells the RN, "I’ve been eating only 400 calories per day and have been taking diuretics to lose weight.” What is the RN’s best response?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct response is D: “The diuretics could be causing your body to lose essential nutrients.” This response addresses both the client’s low-calorie diet and the use of diuretics, highlighting the potential harm caused by the diuretics in depleting essential nutrients from the body. By focusing on the specific issue of nutrient loss, the nurse can educate the client on the dangers of using diuretics for weight loss and encourage seeking professional help. Options A, B, and C do not address the potential harm of diuretics and may not adequately address the severity of the situation. Option C is more general and may not directly address the issue of nutrient loss.
