Explanation & Rationale
A. Acknowledge feelings of anxiety: The client's neurological assessment indicates agitation, and acknowledging this can help in addressing any underlying anxiety. B. Weigh the client twice weekly: Given the client's low BMI and the mother's concern about her weight, regular monitoring is necessary. C. Encourage exercise: While exercise is generally healthy, the client's current bradycardia and low BMI suggest that immediate physical exertion may not be advisable without medical supervision. D. Provide family education on the condition: The client's mother's concern and the client's defensiveness about her weight indicate a need for family education. E. Monitor trips to the restroom: Monitoring is important to ensure the client is not engaging in behaviors that could further compromise her health, such as purging. F. Allow for menu deviations is incorrect. Allowing menu deviations can enable the client to avoid certain foods, which reinforces disordered eating behaviors. Structured, balanced meals are essential for recovery. G. Set precise mealtimes is correct because establishing structured mealtimes promotes consistency and reduces anxiety related to eating. This helps the client develop healthier eating patterns and decreases the urge to binge or purge.
