A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client. Exhibits Drag words from the choices below to fill in each blank in the following sentence. The client is at risk for developing dropdown and dropdown.

The correct answer is: B and D. Choice A: Heart Failure Heart failure is a potential complication of anorexia nervosa due to malnutrition and electrolyte imbalances, which can affect cardiac function. However, the client’s current diagnostic results do not directly indicate heart failure. The blood pressure and heart rate are low but not critically so, and there are no specific cardiac markers or symptoms mentioned that would suggest imminent heart failure. Choice B: Renal Failure Renal failure is a significant risk for this client. The elevated BUN (31 mg/dL) and creatinine (3.0 mg/dL) levels indicate impaired kidney function. These values are well above the normal ranges (BUN: 10-20 mg/dL, creatinine: 0.5-1.0 mg/dL), suggesting that the kidneys are not effectively filtering waste products from the blood. This is consistent with renal failure, which can be exacerbated by dehydration and electrolyte imbalances common in anorexia nervosa. Choice C: Hypomagnesemia Hypomagnesemia refers to low magnesium levels in the blood. The client’s magnesium level is 2.2 mEq/L, which is within the normal range (1.3-2.1 mEq/L). Therefore, hypomagnesemia is not a current risk for this client based on the provided lab results. Choice D: Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. The client’s free thyroxine (T4) level is 0.4 ng/dL, which is below the normal range (0.8-2.8 ng/dL). This indicates hypothyroidism, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and depression78. Given the client’s history of anorexia nervosa and the current lab results, hypothyroidism is a significant risk.
