Explanation: All incidents, accidents, or occurrences that cause actual or potential harm to a
client, employee, or visitor must be reported. The person who witnesses an unusual occurrence
or event must file an incident report in the institution's computer documentation system using an
electronic form. Alternately, a paper form may be completed and filed. The purposes of the
report are to inform risk management of the occurrence, allowing them to consider changes that
might prevent similar incidents, and to notify administration of a potential litigation claim.
The nurse should not document that an incident report was filed, or refer to the incident report in
the medical record.

Explanation: Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder common among adolescents and young
adults. Clinical manifestations of anorexia nervosa include:
1. Fear of weight gain - clients resort to self-induced vomiting, extensive dieting, and intense
exercise resulting in excessive weight loss (<85% expected weight). Clients who self-induce
vomiting may experience enlargement of the salivary glands and erosion of tooth enamel.
2. Fluid and electrolyte imbalance - excessive vomiting can cause hypokalemia and metabolic
alkalosis
, 3. Amenorrhea - clients are often amenorrheic due to decreased body fat (low estrogen)
4. Decreased metabolic rate - severe weight loss results in hypotension, bradycardia, decreased
body temperature, and cold intolerance
5. Lanugo (fine terminal hair) can be seen in extreme cases
Manifestations of anorexia nervosa will resolve after the weight loss is corrected, although the
recovery process can take several months.
(Option 3) Anorexia nervosa manifests as cold intolerance.
(Option 5) Anorexia nervosa manifests as lengthy and vigorous exercise.
