    A nurse on an inpatient eating disorder unit is caring for a client who has anorexia nervosa. Exhibits A nurse on an inpatient eating disorder unit is assessing a client. Which of the following assessment findings indicate a therapeutic response to the treatment plan? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The ECG shows persistent sinus bradycardia on both December 1 and December 15. While sinus bradycardia is common in anorexia nervosa, its persistence may not necessarily reflect a therapeutic response. B. The respiratory rate improved from 24/min to 20/min and the respirations are described as even and unlabored on December 15. This indicates a positive response to treatment. C. The temperature data for December 15 is not provided. However, an increase toward normal temperature would indicate a therapeutic response, but without this data, we cannot confirm. D. The weight increased from 34.5 kg (76 lb) to 37.2 kg (82 lb), which is a significant therapeutic improvement, reflecting progress in treatment. E. The sodium level improved from 128 mEq/L to 130 mEq/L. Although the level is still slightly below normal, the upward trend indicates improvement. F. The creatinine level decreased from 1.2 mg/dL to 0.9 mg/dL, showing improvement in kidney function and response to treatment.
