Question 1 of 5

A nurse assessing a client who has a new diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bradycardia. In anorexia nervosa, severe weight loss leads to a decrease in heart rate to conserve energy. This is a compensatory mechanism to maintain perfusion to vital organs. Dental erosion (
A) is more commonly associated with bulimia nervosa due to frequent vomiting. Hyperactive bowel sounds (
B) are not typically seen in anorexia nervosa as the gastrointestinal system slows down due to malnutrition. Hypertension (
