ATI N200 Mental Health Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse observes dental deterioration when assessing a client diagnosed with Bulimia Nervosa. Which best explains this assessment finding?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Emesis from purging corrodes the tooth enamel. When a client with Bulimia Nervosa engages in purging behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, the stomach acid comes into contact with the teeth, leading to erosion of the tooth enamel. This results in dental deterioration and an increased risk of cavities and tooth sensitivity.

Choices A, B, and C do not directly address the specific mechanism of dental deterioration seen in individuals with Bulimia Nervosa.
Choice A focuses on ingestion rather than the effects of purging on dental health.
Choice B mentions oral hygiene but does not explain the direct impact of purging on tooth enamel.
Choice C references calcium depletion but does not address the erosion of tooth enamel caused by purging.
