Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with suspected bulimia nervosa. Which finding is most indicative?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A:
Tooth enamel erosion. In bulimia nervosa, frequent vomiting exposes the teeth to stomach acid, leading to erosion of tooth enamel. This finding is most indicative because it is a direct consequence of the disorder. Low blood pressure (
B) and hair loss (
C) can be seen in severe cases, but they are not as specific to bulimia nervosa. Normal weight (
D) does not rule out the disorder, as individuals with bulimia may maintain a normal weight. Other choices are not provided, but they would likely be less indicative of bulimia nervosa than tooth enamel erosion.
