3. A 17-year-old, female patient with anorexia nervosa has just been released from the hospital. To facilitate recovery at home, the psychiatric and mental health nurse instructs the family to:
- discourage the patient from sneaking food between meals, by unobtrusively reducing her access to the kitchen.
- encourage the patient's interest in menu planning, food magazines, and cooking lessons, by leaving information and materials around the house.
- inform the patient that she is expected to join in routine family meals and clear the dishes after dinner, even if she does not eat.
-permit the patient to eat her meals privately in her bedroom to discourage family preoccupation with meals.
