Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Purging behaviors, such as induced vomiting, laxative use, or excessive exercise, can occur after meals. Observing the client for at least one hour after meals can help prevent purging behaviors and monitor any symptoms that may occur. Eating with the client or providing frequent small meals may not directly address or prevent purging behaviors. Weighing the client after eating can be triggering and contribute to obsessive behavior.
