A nurse assessing a client who has a new diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Fine hand tremors and pill rolling are not indicative of tardive dyskinesia. These symptoms are more commonly associated with other neurological or movement disorders.

B. Urinary retention and constipation:

Urinary retention and constipation are not symptoms of tardive dyskinesia. These symptoms are more related to anticholinergic effects of certain medications.

C. Facial grimacing and eye blinking:

Facial grimacing and repetitive, involuntary movements such as eye blinking are characteristic of tardive dyskinesia. These abnormal movements of the face and eyes are commonly seen in individuals who have been on long-term antipsychotic medications, especially older ones like haloperidol.

D. Involuntary pelvic rocking and hip thrusting movements:

TD often includes repetitive, purposeless movements of the limbs, trunk, and pelvis.

E. Tongue thrusting and lip-smacking:

Tongue thrusting and lip-smacking are classic symptoms of tardive dyskinesia. These repetitive, involuntary movements involving the mouth and tongue are often observed in individuals who have been on antipsychotic medications for an extended period of time.

A. "Tell me about the concerns that you have regarding your relationship."

This choice is an appropriate and open-ended question that encourages the client to express their feelings and concerns. It helps in building rapport and understanding the client's perspective.

B. "Relationship difficulties are stressful and require effort to resolve."

This choice acknowledges the challenges of relationship difficulties and conveys a supportive and empathetic attitude. It is a reasonable and non-biased statement.

C. "We could develop a plan for how to talk about this with your partner."

This choice suggests a proactive approach to address the client's concerns and promote effective communication. It is a helpful and appropriate statement.

D. "You should try to see your partner's point of view before your own."

This statement implies a biased approach, suggesting that the client should prioritize their partner's perspective over their own. While empathy and understanding are important in relationships, it's not appropriate for a healthcare professional to imply that one perspective is more important than the other. The nurse should encourage open communication and understanding from both sides rather than favoring one viewpoint.
