Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 6

Rationale: The client with bulimia nervosa is likely to induce frequent vomiting and use diuretics and laxatives excessively. This puts the client at risk for both fluid and electrolyte imbalances. The nurse should monitor for both of these in this client. Excessive exercise is a characteristic of anorexia nervosa, not a characteristic of clients with bulimia. Changes in pupillary response and deep tendon reflexes are monitored in other disorders but are not associated with bulimia.
