A nurse is assisting in the care of a client in an outpatient substance use disorder clinic who has been taking naltrexone for the past 30 days. Which of the following client statements indicates an expected response to the treatment?

Rationale:

A. Ensure the client is aware of the scheduled time for the procedure: While knowing the time of surgery is helpful for preparation, it is not a requirement for informed consent. The key issue is whether the client understands the procedure itself and its implications.

B. Make sure the client has been informed about the risks of the procedure: Before witnessing informed consent, the nurse must confirm that the client has received complete information from the provider about the procedure, including its purpose, risks, benefits, and alternatives. This ensures the client is making an informed decision.

C. Ensure the client receives opioid medication prior to giving consent for the procedure: Administering opioids before consent can impair the client's cognitive ability to understand and voluntarily agree. Consent must be obtained while the client is alert and oriented, prior to any sedating medications.

D. Make sure the client's family agrees to the procedure: Consent is only valid when given by the competent client. Family agreement is not legally required unless the client is unable to consent and a legal surrogate is designated.

Rationale:

A. Paranoid personality disorder: This disorder is marked by distrust and suspicion of others, but it is not closely associated with the development of anorexia nervosa. It does not typically involve the rigid control over food and body image seen in eating disorders.

B. Schizotypal personality disorder: While schizotypal personality disorder involves social anxiety and eccentric behaviors, it is more aligned with psychotic spectrum disorders than with the rigid and perfectionistic traits commonly seen in anorexia nervosa.

C. History of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: ADHD may be more associated with impulsive eating behaviors and a higher risk for binge eating or bulimia nervosa, rather than the restrictive and perfectionistic traits seen in anorexia nervosa.

D. History of obsessive-compulsive disorder: OCD is a significant risk factor for anorexia nervosa due to the overlap in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Individuals with OCD often display rigid routines, perfectionism, and intrusive thoughts about food, body image, and control—all of which are common features in anorexia.
