Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an adolescent client who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following client statements is a sign of cognitive distortion?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B. If I eat one piece of candy, I may as well eat ten.
Rationale: This statement demonstrates black-and-white thinking, a common cognitive distortion in anorexia nervosa. The client is exhibiting all-or-nothing thoughts by believing that eating one piece of candy will inevitably lead to overeating. This distorted thinking pattern can contribute to restrictive behaviors and exacerbate the disorder.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: I really need to get into shape - This statement reflects body image concerns commonly seen in anorexia but does not necessarily indicate cognitive distortion.
C: I can't afford to gain weight - While this statement may indicate fear of weight gain, it does not necessarily demonstrate cognitive distortion.
D: I like to cut my food into small pieces - This behavior may be related to food rituals or control issues but does not directly reflect cognitive distortion.
