    A nurse is discussing comorbidities associated with eating disorders with a newly admitted client. Which of the following conditions should the nurse include in the discussion? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is commonly associated with eating disorders. Ritualistic behaviors and obsessive thoughts about food, weight, and body image overlap with OCD tendencies. Choice B reason: Breathing-related sleep disorders are not typically comorbid with eating disorders. While malnutrition can affect sleep, this is not a recognized comorbidity. Choice C reason: Depression is strongly associated with eating disorders. Clients often experience low mood, hopelessness, and poor self-esteem, which contribute to disordered eating behaviors. Choice D reason: Schizophrenia is not a common comorbidity of eating disorders. While both are psychiatric conditions, they do not typically occur together.
