A client admitted with an eating disorder tells the nurse, "No matter what I do, I continue to be fat.". The nursing diagnosis that is appropriate for the client at this time is:
1. Ineffective Coping.
2. Disturbed Body Image.
3. Deficient Knowledge.
4. Impaired Tissue Integrity.
2. Disturbed Body Image
Rationale:
The nursing diagnosis to support this client's needs would be disturbed body image. There is not enough information to determine whether the client does or does not have ineffective coping or deficient knowledge. The nurse is unable to determine whether the client has impaired tissue integrity based upon the client's information.
