A nurse is discussing the treatment plan with a client who is being admitted for treatment of severe anorexia nervosa. Which of the following statements by the client indicates that communication was effective?

Choice A reason: While weighing before breakfast is standard, this statement alone does not reflect understanding of the therapeutic goals or safety measures involved in anorexia treatment. Choice B reason: Monitoring after meals is a key intervention to prevent purging behaviors and ensure nutritional retention. This statement reflects understanding of the structured approach used to support recovery and prevent compensatory behaviors. Choice C reason: Allowing exercise during early treatment is contraindicated due to the risk of caloric expenditure and further weight loss. This statement reflects misunderstanding of treatment restrictions. Choice D reason: Clients with anorexia nervosa are not typically allowed to choose their meals initially, as this may reinforce restrictive eating patterns. Meal plans are structured to ensure balanced nutrition and challenge food avoidance.
