A nurse is planning care for a newly admitted client who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Negotiate with the client how much weight she should gain each week. In anorexia nervosa, weight gain must be carefully monitored to prevent refeeding syndrome. Negotiating with the client empowers them in their recovery process. Weighing the client weekly (A) may cause anxiety. Notifying the client about designated meal times (C) may be too restrictive. Decreasing fiber intake (D) is not indicated and may worsen gastrointestinal issues.
