During the patient interview, there are a number of opportunities to provide patient education and empathy. The opportunities listed below are those identified by nursing experts to be of particular importance to this patient. A Model Statement is provided as an example of an appropriate response to each opportunity.
1 Fitting inFollowed Up
Description: Samantha feels like she doesn’t fit in with her peers. | ||
Do you want to lose weight? (Clarified to: Why do you think you need to lose weight?) | Question 06:29 AM EST | |
Just . . . to look more athletic, you know. Like I fit in with everybody. (Clarified to: why I think I need to lose weight) | ||
You should not try to fit in. Everyone is unique. | Educate 06:30 AM EST | |
Um, that makes sense. | ||
Model Statement: “At age 13, there are a lot of social pressures, coming from your friends at school, teammates at soccer, and influencers on social media. It’s important to be a part of a community that accepts and supports you. If you don’t feel accepted or supported, then you should feel comfortable discussing these issues with people you do trust, because that environment might not be healthy for you. Education & Empathy Maya parker preschooler sick visit ear pain health It’s also possible that you’re being hard on yourself. I know it’s tempting to compare yourself to others, but don’t let that damage your self-worth.” |
2 Body ImageFollowed Up
Description: Samantha has insecurities about her body image. | ||
Do you feel your weight is okay? (Clarified to: How do you feel about your weight?) | Question 06:27 AM EST | |
Um, I mean, I wish I could lose this baby fat. All my friends wear one size smaller than me, so it’s super awkward when they’re swapping clothes . . . and talking about their periods . . . just hard not to compare. (Clarified to: how I feel about my weight) | ||
I understand your concerns but you should not try to fit in or compare yourself to others. | Educate 06:29 AM EST | |
Gotcha. | ||
Model Statement: “Samantha, you’ve mentioned wanting to lose baby fat and look athletic. I’m really sorry you’re having a hard time with the way people see you and the way you see yourself, but there’s nothing wrong with how you look, and you’re in good health. I know it’s easy for me to say this here in the clinic and hard for you when you’re getting compared to other people, but there’s nothing you need to change about yourself.” |
3 MenstruationFollowed Up
Description: Samantha has concerns that she should have had her first period already. | ||
Have you started your periods? | Question 06:17 AM EST | |
No, I haven’t started my period yet. It’s kind of weird because all my friends have? Whenever they talk about it, like the cramps or whatever, I just pretend like I’ve had mine, too. Education & Empathy Maya parker preschooler sick visit ear pain health Just to fit in. | ||
I understand your concerns, but it’s normal for a person of your age to not have started their periods yet. | Educate 06:20 AM EST | |
Cool. Good to know. | ||
Model Statement: “Knowing that your classmates are having their periods when you haven’t had one yet can be frustrating, but you don’t have anything to worry about. It’s typical for someone your age to not have started menstruating yet, and we can expect it to happen before you are 15. Everyone’s experience is a little bit different—sometimes I have patients who are concerned at how early they started. You’re prepared for your first period when it happens, and you’re comfortable talking about it here. That’s the maturity that matters, so do your best not to worry about where your peers are.” Education & Empathy Maya parker preschooler sick visit ear pain health |
4 Skipping MealsFollowed Up
Description: Samantha says that she skips lunch once or twice a week to reduce her caloric intake. | ||
Do you skip any meals? | Question 06:32 AM EST | |
Yeah, I skip lunch once or twice each week. | ||
It is not advisable to skip any meal at your age because you are still growing | Educate 06:33 AM EST | |
For sure. OK. | ||
Model Statement: “It’s very important to eat lunch, along with the rest of your regular meals. You’re still growing, and that takes a lot of food and energy. You’re also a soccer player, and athletes need plenty of calories and nutrients to play well and stay healthy. You definitely don’t need to feel bad about eating lunch Education & Empathy Maya parker preschooler sick visit ear pain health. On top of that, skipping meals can feel pretty bad. When I miss lunch, I get a headache and feel cranky. Please go easy on yourself and your body and try not to skip lunch anymore.” Education & Empathy Maya parker preschooler sick visit ear pain health |

This subjective data, along with Samantha’s normal weight range and healthy BMI collected during physical examination, indicate that Samantha’s problematic behavior is not severe enough to meet the criteria of other eating-related diagnosis or disorders. Therefore, Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits is the correct additional diagnosis at this time. American Psychiatric Association. (2017). Feeding and Eating Disorders.

Pharmacological InterventionSelected: NoLearner Rationale:No disease or problem was indicated by the patientScore: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: NoThis selection is not appropriate. Samantha did not indicate any illness or problem during her sports physical that would require Pharmacological Intervention. |
Non-Pharmacological InterventionSelected: YesLearner Rationale:You should discuss with the patient about her food and dieting habits.Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: YesBecause you’ve uncovered some eating and body issues during Samantha’s visit, it is appropriate to perform Non-Pharmacological Interventions. You will talk to Samantha and Jackie about their attitudes and habits around food, dieting, and body image in order to interrupt Samantha’s disordered habits before they become more problematic. A more intuitive, holistic approach to healthy living will allow Samantha to shift her focus away from restrictive eating and weight loss towards a lifestyle that supports her well being. |
Educate PatientSelected: YesLearner Rationale:Patient should be taught to take care of her own health.Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: YesWhen a pediatric patient is old enough to take responsibility for their own care, you must educate them as well as their guardian. Clearly communicating to a patient and their guardian what care they need and why improves adherence and outcomes. |
Preventive Screening and InterventionSelected: NoLearner Rationale:Samantha already got preventive screening during her 134-year old well visit.Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: NoThis selection is not appropriate.

Non-Pharmacological Intervention6 out of 6
Learner Selection | Model Documentation |
Discuss life-threatening health problems caused by eating disorders, such as heart failure, bone loss, hair and tooth loss, and loss of menses.Selected: YesLearner Rationale: Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: YesGiven Samantha’s lack of knowledge around the consequences of eating disorders, it is critical she understand the long-term consequences of poor nutrition. Samantha’s diagnosis of Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits requires that Samantha understand the potential risks she is taking with her behavior. Therefore, Discuss Life-threatening Health Problems is an appropriate selection at this time. |
Discuss limiting Samantha’s media intake, including unfollowing fitness accounts on social media and refraining from watching shows about weight loss or dieting.Selected: YesLearner Rationale: Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: YesGiven that Samantha mentioned social media and peer pressure as influencing her body image and self-esteem, it is critical she limits her exposure to media that promotes dieting, weight loss, fitness, and idealized or unrealistic bodies. Samantha’s diagnosis of Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits requires a holistic approach that considers the cultural factors that may influence her. Therefore, Limiting Media Intake is the appropriate selection at this time. |
Discuss with Samantha various ways to track her calorie intake, including apps and food diaries, to ensure she meets her recommended caloric intake.Selected: NoLearner Rationale: Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: NoGiven best practices and the details of Samantha’s case, this is an inappropriate intervention. Taking into account all of Samantha’s signs and symptoms, it is not appropriate to encourage Samantha to fixate further on calories or food intake. Eating Disorder Foundation. (n.d.). About eating disorders. https://eatingdisorderfoundation.org/learn-more/about-eating-disorders |
Educate Samantha on identifying problematic eating behaviors, including skipping meals on purpose, misusing laxatives, counting calories, or purging via exercise or vomiting.Selected: NoLearner Rationale: Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: NoGiven best practices and the details of Samantha’s case, this is an inappropriate intervention; however, Samantha could be educated on problematic eating behaviors, including in-depth examples like misusing laxatives or purging via exercise or vomiting may unintentionally give the patient more strategies to continue covert disordered eating. Eating Disorder Foundation. (n.d.). About eating disorders. https://eatingdisorderfoundation.org/learn-more/about-eating-disorders |
Increase knowledge of coping mechanisms for low self-esteem and poor body image, including journaling, support groups, relaxation and stress management, positive self-talk, and affirmations.Selected: YesLearner Rationale: Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: YesGiven Samantha’s poor body image, desire to lose weight, and her tendency to compare herself to her peers, it is critical she develop positive coping mechanisms to build a more neutral, if not positive, approach to her body. Coping mechanisms may include journaling, support group, relaxation and stress management, positive self-talk, and affirmations. Samantha’s diagnosis of Inappropriate Diet and Eating Habits requires a patient-centered empathetic approach. Therefore, Increase Knowledge of Coping Mechanisms is the appropriate selection at this time. |
Inform Samantha that if she sets her mind to it, she can overcome her body issues and low-self esteem through proper diet and exercise.Selected: NoLearner Rationale: Score: 1 out of 1 | Recommended: NoGiven best practices and the details of Samantha’s case, this is an inappropriate intervention. Disordered eating arises from complex, overlapping factors such as culture, fatphobia, peer pressure, and anxiety. Informing Samantha that she can simply choose to overcome her low self-esteem is not a patient-centered intervention. Eating Disorder Foundation. (n.d.). About eating disorders. https://eatingdisorderfoundation.org/learn-more/about-eating-disorders |
In your own words, discuss life-threatening health problems related to disordered eating with Samantha and Ms. Monroe.

Forcing yourself to diet or skip meals can make you very sick because strong bones teeth, and hair require adequate nutrition. | Eating as much as you should is a very important part of staying healthy. Forcing yourself to diet or skip meals can make you very sick. Strong bones, hair, and teeth all require sufficient nutrition and calories. Eating well is important for development. You mentioned feeling self-conscious about not having your period yet, but you’re developing at a normal rate. Eating regularly will help you stay on track to develop properly, which includes getting your period. Also, you’re a soccer player — that requires a lot of energy and stamina. Eating plenty of food allows you to perform on the field and helps protect you from injury and overexertion. As an athlete, a student, and a young woman, having three meals of balanced food a day will help you achieve your goals. |
Oh, um yeah. That makes sense. I don’t want any of that to happen.
Thank you. This is pretty concerning so we’ll take this very seriously.In your own words, discuss limiting media intake with Samantha and Jackie.

You should limit media exposure and remember that your body deserves to be fed, cared or, regardless of the size. | Samantha, you mentioned social media and your friends’ follower count as influencing your body-image. We’re going to talk about social media and strategies you can use to protect your mental health and body-image. It’s critical you limit your exposure to media sources that promote diet culture, fad diets, weight loss, fitness goals, and idealized, unrealistic bodies. Instead of focusing on how you look in comparison to others, try to reframe those thoughts and remind yourself that your body isn’t a problem to be solved or punished. When you see images, articles, or TV shows that make you feel bad, turn them off and remember your body deserves to be fed, cared for, and appreciated, regardless of its size. |
Yeah, I mean I don’t want an eating disorder or anything like that. I just thought thinking like that was pretty normal, but I guess not.
We’re just both going to have to rethink how we see our bodies and talk about nutrition. I don’t want to see my daughter struggle with her self-esteem.In your own words, discuss increasing knowledge of coping mechanisms with Samantha and Jackie.

You can try journalling, relaxation and stress management techniques, and affirmations | Now we’re going to talk about some specific coping strategies you can use to interrupt negative thoughts about yourself and work towards a more neutral, if not positive, approach to your body. You can try journaling, relaxation and stress management techniques, replacing negative self-talk with positive things you like and appreciate about yourself, and affirmations. A good affirmation for you might be, “All bodies deserve to be fed and watered,” or “All bodies deserve care and praise.” You can also consider going to a support group for teens looking to build-up their self-esteem. Body image and disordered eating can significantly impact a person’s anxiety levels and sense of control over their lives. Try using these coping strategies the next time you have anxious, controlling, or restrictive thoughts about your body or food. |
Yeah, that make sense. It’s not like I want to feel this way, you know?
I’m just glad we figured out that this was an issue. I had no idea.
