Several clients are members of a therapy group for clients with eating disorders. Of what particu-lar use is this type of group therapy for treatment of eating disorders?
 
  1. Spending time in a group setting helps the client focus on things other than food-related issues
  2. Interacting with clients who have similar problems helps prevent secondary gains related to being different
  3. Focusing on problems experienced by other group members helps the client avoid having to deal with personal concerns
  4. Many insurance companies are more willing to pay for group rather than individu-al therapy

Question 2

A pediatric nurse at the clinic interviews a 14-year-old client who is dressed in baggy clothes and two sweaters on a warm day.
 
  The client admits to not having had her period for 4 months. The nurse notes fine downy hair along the client's cheeks. Vital signs are T, 36.6; P, 64; and BP, 84/50. Which additional objec-tive sign would best support the nurse's assessment that the client has anorexia nervosa?
  1. Weight 15 below normal for her height
  2. Eroded dental enamel
  3. Parotid gland enlargement
  4. Dehydration

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Clients with eating disorders set themselves apart from others with their unique stances toward food and eating. They obtain secondary gains related to feeling special. Being in a group with others with similar problems gives a safe place to disclose while preventing secondary gains asso-ciated with being different. 1. This is not the goal of a therapy group. 3. Clients need to focus on their own issues. 4. This is not related to the purpose of the therapy group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The self-starvation of the client with anorexia nervosa produces excessive weight loss. The other options are more often found in clients with bulimia nervosa.
