ANS: B
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by a distorted body image and an intense fear of becoming obese. Patients with anorexia nervosa lose weight either by excessive dieting or by purging themselves of calories they have ingested. Because this woman has gained very little weight and has concerns about her body shape, the nurse should suspect anorexia and assess the patient further. Anemia, gestational diabetes, and gestational hypertension do not manifest with these symptoms.
