A nurse is teaching a class about the effects of a negative body image.
The nurse should include that which of the following is an adverse effect of a negative body image?

Choice A rationale:

"Role performance overload" is not a direct adverse effect of a negative body image. Role performance overload refers to excessive demands and responsibilities in one's life, which can lead to stress and burnout. While a negative body image can contribute to stress, it does not directly cause role performance overload.

Choice B rationale:

"Development of an eating disorder" is a well-documented adverse effect of a negative body image. Individuals with a negative body image may develop eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or bulimia as they strive for an idealized body image. This choice is directly related to the topic of negative body image.

Choice C rationale:

"Mistrust" is not a typical adverse effect of a negative body image. Mistrust is more related to issues of trust and interpersonal relationships, while a negative body image primarily affects one's self-perception.

Choice D rationale:

"Self-absorption" can be a consequence of a negative body image, as individuals may become preoccupied with their appearance and self-worth based on their body. However, the most direct and severe consequence is the development of eating disorders, as mentioned in choice B. .

Choice A rationale:

Administering a scheduled pain medication for a client who is in pain is an act of beneficence rather than autonomy. Beneficence focuses on doing good for the patient, while autonomy involves respecting the patient's right to make choices about their care.

Choice B rationale:

Fulfilling a promise to a client to return with their pain medication is related to veracity and accountability rather than autonomy. Autonomy pertains to the patient's ability to make choices regarding their care.

Choice D rationale:

Providing nonpharmacological pain interventions equally to all clients is related to justice and fairness rather than autonomy. Autonomy involves respecting an individual's right to make decisions about their treatment. Now, let's move on to the next question.
