In taking a history from an adolescent girl about diet and nutrition, a nurse specifically asks which question?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents should be asked specifically about their perception of their current weight and behaviors associated with eating disorders, including food restrictions, extreme diet/exercise routines, binging or purging, and the use of laxatives to screen for eating disorders. Asking the frequency of fast food or junk food consumption does not give data about what food is eaten. Knowing the amount of carbonated drinks provides more useful data. Knowing how frequently these foods are eaten provides more useful data.
