What factor contributes to a poor outcome for clients with anorexia nervosa?
1. Treatment approaches are fragmented and controversial.
2. The client with anorexia nervosa actively resents or refuses treatment.
3. There is no cure for anorexia nervosa.
4. Changes in the client's behavior are irreversible.
2
Rationale: The quest for thinness is the focus for clients with anorexia nervosa. These clients resent the attempts of others to influence them. They experience extreme denial that they have a problem and, therefore, they resist treatment. It is not true that changes in the client's behavior are irreversible or that anorexia is not curable. The treatment approach is not the predominant contributor to a poor outcome.
