Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with bulimia. The nurse recognizes which of the following would be a therapeutic intervention?
Correct Answer: B

It promotes self-awareness and can aid in identifying maladaptive eating behaviors. Individual therapy (
A) can address underlying psychological issues, but keeping a food diary is a more immediate and practical intervention. Administering medication (
