A hospitalized adolescent diagnosed with anorexia nervosa refuses to comply with her daily before-breakfast weigh-in. She states that she just drank a glass of water, which she feels will unfairly increase her weight. What is the nurse's best response to the client?
1. “You are here to gain weight so that will work in your favor.”
2. “Don't drink or eat for 2 hours and then I'll weigh you.”
3. “You must weigh in every day at this time. Please step on the scale.”
4. “If you don't get on the scale, I will be forced to call your doctor.”
