Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a binge eating disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Remain with the client for 1 hr after meals. This is important because it helps prevent purging behaviors that may occur after meals in individuals with binge eating disorder. By staying with the client, the nurse can offer support, monitor for any signs of distress, and help the client cope with any urges to engage in harmful behaviors.
Choice A: Planning a menu with the client may not be as effective in addressing the immediate concerns related to binge eating behaviors.
Choice B: Weighing the client every other day may exacerbate the client's preoccupation with weight and body image, which can contribute to the disorder.
Choice D: Offering snacks when the client is hungry may not address the underlying emotional issues and behaviors associated with binge eating disorder.
In summary,
Choice C is the most appropriate action as it focuses on providing immediate support and monitoring to help prevent harmful behaviors associated with binge eating disorder.
