Question

The three objectives are increasing self-esteem, increasing weight to 90% of average body weight, and reestablishing appropriate eating behavior. Reading cookbooks or planning nutritious meals may be evidence of manipulation. A low residual volume simply indicates that the patient is utilizing the feedings and there is no intestinal obstruction. Lack of fear does not translate to proper eating or an improved self-esteem.
