"The medication is being used to treat obsessive-compulsive behavior."
The nurse's best response is, "The medication is being used to treat obsessive compulsive behavior." Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that is useful in reducing obsessive-compulsive behavior after the patient has reached a maintenance weight. There are no drugs approved for the treatment of anorexia nervosa, so fluoxetine won't help; there are no drugs that will be prescribed for the anorexia, and fluoxetine cannot treat both.
Test-Taking Tip: The most reliable way to ensure that you select the correct response to a multiple choice question is to recall it. Depend on your learning and memory to furnish the answer to the question. To do this, read the stem, and then stop! Do not look at the response options yet. Try to recall what you know and, based on this, what you would give as the answer. After you have taken a few seconds to do this, then look at all of the choices and select the one that most nearly matches the answer you recalled. It is important that you consider all the choices and not just choose the first option that seems to fit the answer you recall. Remember the distractors. The second choice may look okay, but the fourth choice may be worded in a way that makes it a slightly better choice. If you do not weigh all the choices, you are not maximizing your chances of correctly answering each question.
