The nurse observes dental deterioration when assessing a client diagnosed with Bulimia Nervosa. Which best explains this assessment finding

Food is rapidly ingested without proper chewing.

Purging causes the depletion of dietary calcium.

Poor dental and oral hygiene lead to dental caries.

Emesis from purging corrodes the tooth enamel.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

a. Food is rapidly ingested without proper chewing: While this might happen in bulimia nervosa, it does not explain dental erosion.
b. Purging causes the depletion of dietary calcium: Calcium depletion could affect bones and teeth but is not the primary reason for the dental erosion seen in bulimia nervosa.
c. Poor dental and oral hygiene lead to dental caries: While poor hygiene can contribute to dental issues, the primary cause of dental deterioration in bulimia is the acid from vomiting.
d. Emesis from purging corrodes the tooth enamel. Frequent vomiting in bulimia nervosa exposes teeth to stomach acid, which erodes the enamel and leads to dental deterioration.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

a. "We can keep the scatter (throw) rug in the bathroom for safety." This is incorrect because scatter rugs are a fall hazard and should be removed.
b. "One family member should provide all care for the client when at home." This is incorrect because caregiving should ideally be a shared responsibility to prevent caregiver burnout.
c. "We should leave food by the bedside in case the client gets hungry." This is incorrect because it can pose choking hazards and does not address proper supervision for eating.
d. "We can use respite care for short term relief for caregiving." This is correct as it shows understanding of the importance of respite care to prevent caregiver burnout and ensure sustained quality care for the client.

A. Reaction Formation B. Projection C. Sublimation D. Repression

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

a. Reaction Formation: Reaction formation involves expressing the opposite of what one truly feels. Exploring a career that involves controlled expression of anger (such as professional wrestling) can be seen as a reaction formation against uncontrolled anger.
b. Projection: Projection involves attributing one's own unacceptable feelings or thoughts to others. Exploring a career in professional wrestling does not involve projecting one's own feelings onto others.
c. Sublimation: This is correct because sublimation involves channeling unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable activities. Exploring a career in professional wrestling could be seen as channeling anger into a constructive and socially acceptable outlet.
d. Repression: Repression involves pushing unacceptable thoughts or memories out of consciousness. Exploring a career in professional wrestling does not involve repressing anger but rather finding a way to express it constructively.
