A client with bulimia nervosa is scheduled for a visit to the clinic. When assessing this client, which of the following would a nurse expect to find?
A) Impulsivity
B) Panic
C) Hyperactivity
D) Delusions
Ans: A
Clients with bulimia often demonstrate impulsivity. Situations that produce feelings of being overwhelmed and powerless need to be explored, as does the client's ability to set boundaries, control impulsivity, and maintain quality relationships. These underlying issues precipitate binge eating. Panic, hyperactivity, and delusions are not associated with bulimia nervosa.
