A)The nurse would be correct in stating that women with a history of eating disorders are at risk for new or renewed onset of binge eating during pregnancy. Research has found that pregnancy poses a risk for the onset of binge eating disorder (BED)in vulnerable individuals, occurring in nearly 1 in every 20 women. The rest of these statements are not accurate. A substantial proportion of women who have prepregnancy eating disorders continue to engage in disordered eating while pregnant; a history of eating disorders does not appear to increase the likelihood of pica during pregnancy; and disordered eating during pregnancy can result in negative fetal outcomes, such as low birth weight.
