The nurse plans care for a client diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Which goal will the nurse make a priority for this client?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Gradual weight gain (0.25 lb/week) is the priority goal for anorexia, addressing malnutrition and physical health risks. Electrolyte balance and meal consumption are important but secondary, and identifying normal weight is a long-term cognitive goal.
