Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option C is the most appropriate short-term outcome for a client with anorexia nervosa because gaining weight is a primary focus of treatment. The other options may be appropriate long-term outcomes, but they do not address the immediate need for weight restoration. Option A focuses on avoiding purging, but does not address weight gain directly. Option B focuses on identifying triggers for purging, but does not address weight gain. Option D focuses on preventing signs and symptoms of malnutrition and dehydration, but does not address weight gain.
