The nurse is caring for a client with a binge eating disorder. Which goal should the nurse first establish with the client?

A. Instituting an exercise plan is important for overall health and may be part of the client's treatment plan. However, the primary focus initially should be on addressing disordered eating behaviors and achieving a balanced diet. B. Regulating food portions is a crucial goal for individuals with binge eating disorder to help establish healthier eating habits and prevent episodes of overeating. C. Obtaining satisfaction with appearance may be a long-term goal for some individuals with binge eating disorder, but it is not typically the first goal addressed in treatment. D. Achieving a steady weight loss may not be appropriate for all individuals with binge eating disorder, as the focus should be on promoting a healthy relationship with food rather than solely on weight loss.
