A 15-year-old girl with anorexia refuses to eat in a mental health unit. Which of the following statements is the best response from the nurse()
A. "Why do you think you’re fat You’re underweight. Here--look in the mirror. "
B. "You really look terrible at this weight. I hope you’ll eat. "
C. "You don’t have to eat. It’s your choice. "
D. "I hope you’ll eat your food by mouth. Tube feedings and IV lines can be uncomfortable. \
参考答案：D
解析：
Clients with anorexia can refuse food to the point of cardiac damage. Tube feedings and IV infusions are ordered to prevent such damage. The nurse is informing her of her treatment options. Option C doesn’t tell the client about the consequences of choosing not to eat. Because a client with an eating disorder usually has a distorted self- concept and low self-esteem, options A and B are incorrect because they won’t change the client’s self-image.
