Which information source does the nurse recognize as presenting many societal influences on the perception of attractiveness, which is detrimental to the patient with an eating disorder?
1. Articles about eating disorders
2. Media that glamorizes thinness
3. Information about coping behaviors
4. Programs that emphasize good nutrition
Answer: 2
Explanation: Attractiveness is strongly equated with thinness, which is frequently glamorized in the media. This is detrimental to the patient with an eating disorder. Articles about eating disorders, programs that emphasize good nutrition, and information about coping behaviors would be beneficial to the patient with an eating disorder, not detrimental.
