Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a group of patients on a medical surgical unit. Which of the following patients is at most risk for developing gout?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The document's rationale is incorrect. Anorexia nervosa leads to malnutrition, which may reduce purine intake, lowering gout risk. However, severe malnutrition can cause metabolic stress and hyperuricemia. The other options (low-purine diet, vegetarian child, ulcerative colitis) have lower or no gout risk, making the anorexia patient relatively higher risk.
