Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following findings requires immediate intervention by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Blood pH 7.60. In anorexia nervosa, severe electrolyte imbalances can occur, leading to metabolic alkalosis.

A: Lanugo is a common finding in anorexia and doesn't require immediate intervention. B: Edema may indicate refeeding syndrome but isn't as urgent as correcting severe alkalosis.
