Encourage the client to participate in family therapy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anorexia nervosa is a complex eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, body image distortion, and restricted food intake. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of the disorder. One essential component of treatment is family therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Family Therapy?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Family therapy is particularly beneficial for clients with anorexia nervosa, especially adolescents. The disorder often has roots in family dynamics and relationships, and involving family members in therapy can help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and create a supportive environment for recovery. Family therapy enables families to learn how to support the client\u2019s recovery while also addressing any emotional or psychological issues that may have contributed to the development of the eating disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Options:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A. Prepare the client for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT):<\/strong> This is not typically part of the treatment plan for anorexia nervosa. ECT is primarily used for mood disorders such as severe depression, not eating disorders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Weigh the client twice per day:<\/strong> Weighing the client too frequently can increase anxiety and worsen the obsession with weight. Typically, the client is weighed once a week in a controlled, non-stressful setting to monitor progress without exacerbating their anxiety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Set a weight gain goal of 2.2 kg (4.9 lb) per week:<\/strong> This weight gain goal is too aggressive and could lead to refeeding syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that occurs when nutrition is reintroduced too rapidly. A more realistic and safe goal is about 0.5 to 1 kg (1.1 to 2.2 lb) per week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating family therapy into the treatment plan fosters a holistic and supportive approach to addressing both the emotional and relational factors contributing to anorexia nervosa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is creating a plan of care for a client who has anorexia nervosa.
