Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has anorexia nervosa and overexercises to avoid gaining weight. Which of the following nursing actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because asking the client to talk to a nurse when feeling the urge to exercise promotes open communication and allows for intervention before engaging in harmful behaviors. This approach helps the nurse monitor the client's exercise habits and provide support. Option A is incorrect as reprimanding the client can lead to feelings of shame and resistance. Option C is inappropriate as praising the client for looking at herself in a mirror may reinforce negative body image. Option D is incorrect as restricting the client from being weighed may not address the core issue of overexercising.
