  • Title: Anorexia nervosa and bulimia: incidence and diagnosis.
    Author: Plehn KW.
    Journal: Nurse Pract; 1990 Apr; 15(4):22, 25, 28 passim. PubMed ID: 2325923.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of eating disorders is increasing at an alarming rate. The clinician who sees many female teenagers and young women in the course of practice is a prime candidate for identifying and providing early diagnosis and communication with the anorexic or bulimic client. Vigilance when assessing the client's physical, psychological, personal and family-history status will increase case-finding for eating disorders at an earlier point in the disease.
