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.
