A client who is hospitalized with anorexia nervosa states during a one-to-one session with the nurse, I'm freaking out. I'm losing it. Which nurse response would be most therapeutic at this time?
 
  1. Would you feel better if I called your parents?
  2. Just sit here and relax and maintain control.
  3. Let me sit with you for a while.
  4. Tell me what thoughts are going through your head.

Question 2

Which expectation should be considered most critical prior to discharging a client with anorexia nervosa from the hospital?
 
  1. Attainment of minimum normal weight
  2. Resumption of normal menstrual cycle

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Helping the client identify thoughts will pave the way to learning effective coping mechanisms to deal with them. 1. The client needs to learn to bear and deal effectively with her own discomfort. 2. The nurse is taking control without allowing the client the opportunity to deal with her own issues. 3. The nurse should encourage the client to deal with her feelings and issues, rather than sit passively with her.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
1. Attaining the desired weight is the best goal. 2. Resumption of the menstrual period may take an extended time. 3. Having knowledge of nutrition does not ensure that the client will apply it. 4. Exercising three times a day is considered excessive.
