Choice A rationale: Potassium level A therapeutic response to the treatment plan for anorexia nervosa would be indicated by a normal potassium level. Anorexia nervosa often leads to electrolyte imbalances, including low potassium levels, due to inadequate food intake and, in some cases, purging behaviors. Therefore, a normal potassium level can indicate that the client is responding well to the treatment plan, as it suggests they are maintaining a more balanced diet and managing their symptoms effectively.

Choice B rationale: Temperature While body temperature can be affected by severe malnutrition, it is not a specific indicator of a therapeutic response to the treatment plan for anorexia nervosa. Therefore, while it’s important to monitor, it is not a definitive sign of improvement or recovery.

Choice C rationale: ECG report An ECG report can indicate a therapeutic response to the treatment plan for anorexia nervosa. This is because anorexia nervosa can lead to heart problems such as abnormal heart rhythms. Therefore, a normal ECG report can suggest that the client’s heart health is improving, which can be a sign that they are responding well to the treatment plan.

Choice D rationale: BUN level While the BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) level can provide information about hydration status and kidney function, it is not a specific indicator of a therapeutic response to the treatment plan for anorexia nervosa. Therefore, while it’s important to monitor, it is not a definitive sign of improvement or recovery.

Choice E rationale: BMI BMI (Body Mass Index) is a key indicator of a therapeutic response to the treatment plan for anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by a significantly low body weight, and one of the main goals of treatment is weight restoration. Therefore, an increase in BMI can indicate that the client is gaining weight and responding well to the treatment plan.

The correct answer is choice c. “In my dreams, all I can see are the wounded reaching out and trying to grab me.”

Choice A rationale:

This statement indicates hypervigilance and paranoia, which can be symptoms of PTSD, but it is more indicative of a delusional disorder or severe anxiety.

Choice B rationale:

This statement reflects a possible delusion of grandeur or a coping mechanism to deal with trauma, but it does not directly indicate PTSD.

Choice C rationale:

This statement describes a recurring nightmare, which is a common symptom of PTSD. Individuals with PTSD often relive traumatic events through nightmares or flashbacks.

Choice D rationale:

This statement suggests a belief in a cause-and-effect relationship that may not be accurate. It could indicate guilt or a misunderstanding of the situation, but it is not a direct symptom of PTSD.
