Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the client's history of using laxatives, it is possible that the client's metabolic balance was disrupted, leading to metabolic acidosis. The symptoms of unconsciousness could be attributed to this acidosis. Increased creatinine and BUN levels are associated with kidney dysfunction and not specifically related to Bulimia Nervosa. Abnormal EEG results could be a sign of neurological issues but may not necessarily be related to this specific client's symptoms. Metabolic alkalosis would not lead to unconsciousness.
