A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results on an adolescent who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hgb 10 g/dL. In an adolescent with anorexia nervosa, low hemoglobin (Hgb) levels are expected due to malnutrition and inadequate intake of essential nutrients. Anorexia nervosa can lead to a deficiency in essential nutrients such as iron, which can result in anemia and low Hgb levels. This is a common finding in individuals with anorexia nervosa.
