A nurse is caring for a client who purges after eating. What intervention should the nurse implement?

A: Having the patient eat meals in private is not recommended as it can facilitate purging behaviors without supervision. B: Educating the patient on the long-term complications of purging is important but not the primary intervention to prevent immediate purging behavior. C: Weighing the patient at the same time every morning is a standard practice in managing eating disorders but does not directly address the purging behavior. D: Monitoring the patient during and after meal times is crucial to prevent purging and ensure the patient is following the treatment plan.
