Which of the following physical manifestations would you expect to assess in a patient suffering with Anorexia Nervosa?

A. Bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia: Severe caloric restriction in anorexia nervosa slows metabolic and cardiovascular function, leading to low heart rate, low blood pressure, and decreased body temperature. These changes reflect the body’s adaptation to prolonged starvation and energy conservation. B. Tachycardia, hypotension, hypothermia: Increased heart rate is not typical in the early or chronic phases of anorexia nervosa unless dehydration or other medical complications are present. Bradycardia is more commonly observed. C. Bradycardia, hypertension, hyperthermia: Hypertension and elevated body temperature are not characteristic of anorexia nervosa. Hypotension and hypothermia are more consistent with prolonged malnutrition and decreased metabolic activity. D. Tachycardia, hypertension, hyperthermia: Elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, and hyperthermia are more consistent with hypermetabolic states or infection rather than anorexia nervosa. These vital sign changes are atypical for chronic starvation.
