    A nurse is caring for a client who has a binge eating disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Remaining with the client after meals helps provide emotional support and prevents purging behaviors that may occur in individuals with eating disorders like binge eating disorder. B. Regular monitoring of weight is important, but frequent weighing may contribute to anxiety and focus on weight rather than addressing the underlying disorder. C. Offering snacks on demand could encourage disordered eating patterns and may not help in establishing regular eating habits. D. While involving the client in meal planning can be helpful for certain eating disorders, the focus should be on establishing a structured, balanced eating plan and addressing emotional needs rather than allowing unstructured eating.
