A patient with anorexia nervosa is taking food correctly as per her diet plan, but there was no
increase in weight observed. What will be the nursing intervention for the above patient?

Correct option is A

· Observe the patient while taking the meal and after up to 2 hours: Observation helps detect any maladaptive behaviors like purging or discarding food, which could hinder weight gain.
· Increase calorie food from 1500 to 2000: Increasing calorie intake may be necessary but should be based on careful assessment and medical advice. Without behavioral correction, increasing food intake alone might not address the underlying issue.
· Add vitamin tablets to her medications: Adding vitamin supplements may improve nutritional deficiencies but does not directly address the behavioral aspect of the disorder.
· Engage them in other activities: Engaging in activities can support emotional well-being but is not sufficient as the primary intervention for weight stabilization.
Additional Information:
· Nursing care for anorexia nervosa focuses on behavioral monitoring, psychological support, and adherence to the nutritional rehabilitation plan.
· A multidisciplinary approach involving dietitians, psychologists, and medical professionals is essential for effective management.
