Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A behavioral plan for increasing weight is part of a refeeding program that is instituted for a nursing diagnosis of imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements. Interventions for disturbed body image and anxiety involve addressing interoceptive awareness, helping clients understand their feelings, and initiating interpersonal therapy. Interventions for ineffective coping would address integrating the clients back into school, renewing friendships and relationships, and promoting participation in family therapy.
