The nursing diagnosis more relevant for a client with anorexia nervosa who restricts intake and is
  20 below normal weight than for a 130-pound client with bulimia nervosa who purges is
 
  a. powerlessness.
  b. disturbed body image.
  c. imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements.
  d. ineffective coping.

Question 2

Several nurses at Hospital X are concerned that agency policies related to restraint and seclusion and
  documentation practices are inadequate.
 
  The understanding about the relation of substandard
  institutional policies and individual nursing practice that should guide nursing practice is
  a. the policies do not absolve the individual nurse of the responsibility to practice
  according to professional standards of nursing care.
  b. agency policies are considered by the courts to be the legal standard by which the
  professional nurse must act and therefore override the American Nurses
  Association standards of care.
  c. in an institution with substandard policies, the nurse has a responsibility to inform
  the supervisor and leave the premises without delay.
  d. interpretation by the judicial system will be rendered on an individual basis and
  therefore cannot be predicted.

Answer to Question 1

C
The client with bulimia nervosa usually maintains a close-to-normal weight, whereas the client with
anorexia nervosa may approach starvation. Options A, B, and D may be appropriate for clients with
either anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nurses are professionally bound to uphold the American Nurses Association standards of practice
regardless of lesser standards established by a health care agency or a state. Conversely, if the
agency standards are higher than the American Nurses Association standards of practice, the agency
standards must be upheld. The courts may seek to establish the standard of care through the use of
expert witnesses when the issue is clouded.
