Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C

A history of vomiting after eating is a clinical manifestation related to an eating disorder. The nurse would anticipate a complete blood count, serum electrolytes, and a BUN and creatinine when monitoring the client. A urine drug screen and barium enema are not anticipated when providing care to this client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C

For clients who are diagnosed with a personality disorder, the nurse would anticipate antipsychotic medication, antidepressant medication, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Nutritional counseling and a weight management program is more appropriate for a client with an eating disorder.
