A nurse is caring for a client who is crying and states they are depressed and feel like they are "going crazy." Which of the following client statements indicates the client is experiencing emotional abuse? (Select All that Apply.)

A. Valproate. Valproate is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, and it is not indicated for the treatment of bulimia nervosa.
B. Olanzapine. Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic that may be used in certain eating disorders, but it is not the first-line treatment for bulimia nervosa. SSRIs, specifically fluoxetine, are more commonly prescribed for this condition.
C. Naltrexone. Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist used primarily for alcohol dependence and opioid use disorder. It is not indicated for the treatment of bulimia nervosa.
D. Fluoxetine. Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that has been shown to be effective in reducing binge-eating and purging behaviors in individuals with bulimia nervosa. It is the medication the nurse should anticipate administering for this client.

A. "My ex-partner constantly makes fun of my weight." This statement reflects emotional abuse, as body-shaming can damage self-esteem and create feelings of worthlessness. Constant criticism about appearance is a form of psychological manipulation and control.
B. "My ex-partner tells me that I can't do anything right." Emotional abusers often undermine their victims’ confidence by making them feel incompetent or incapable. This type of verbal degradation can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, and depression.
C. "I recently was promoted at work but now I'm unable to work with the same coworkers I was used to working with." While workplace changes can be stressful, this does not indicate emotional abuse. There is no mention of manipulation, belittlement, or control by another person.
D. "I am newly divorced and a single parent." Divorce and single parenting can be challenging, but they do not inherently signify emotional abuse. Emotional abuse involves a pattern of controlling, belittling, or manipulative behavior from another individual.
E. "I suppose I really do need to be on medication, like my ex-partner said." This statement suggests that the ex-partner may have manipulated the client into doubting their own mental stability. Gaslighting—making someone question their own reality—is a common tactic in emotional abuse.
F. "My friend recently passed away." Grief can contribute to emotional distress, but the loss of a friend does not indicate emotional abuse. Emotional abuse involves deliberate psychological harm from another person.
