The nurse knows that it is important for the patient suffering from an eating disorder to maintain connections with friends and family in order to avoid which belief?
1. That the eating disorder will bring happiness
2. That forgiveness of inadequacies is acceptable
3. That maintaining the disorder leads to a loss of spirit
4. That despite the sacrifice of dieting, happiness will never come
Answer: 4
Explanation: It is important that nurses are able to recognize when patients begin to lose the ability to have faith, hope, forgiveness, and the ability to trust in themselves and others (spiritual domain). A lack of spirit affects biological, psychological, cultural, and sociological connections and can leave patients with the incorrect belief that their eating disorder will bring them happiness and an ideal body weight and shape. A reconnection of spirit allows the patient to forgive the inadequacies surrounding the disorder and embrace themselves without judgment.
