Which of the following nursing interventions would be included in the care of a client with anorexia nervosa as therapy progresses ?()
A.Let the client eat alone to avoid embarrassment.
B.Weigh the client once a week in the same clothing.
C.Monitor the client for self-destructive tendencies.
D.Praise the client for "looking better" and remind the client that she isn't "too fat. "
参考答案:C
解析:
Self-starvation is life-threatening; the client should be monitored for self- destructive tendencies. The nurse must stay with the client during meals to ensure that food is being eaten. The client should be weighed three times daily in light clothing to ensure accuracy. Praising the client for looking better could signal a power struggle with the client and the nurse's unconscious means of exerting control.
