The patient with Anorexia Nervosa states, "I have gained 2 pounds, and so now I cannot wear shorts." An appropriate treatment option to address the cognitive distortion of the patient is:

Therapy to address and correct maladaptive thoughts and attitudes.

Having the patient slowly wear shorter and shorter pants so that they become comfortable.

Blind weight checks.

To ensure that the patient gains the 2 pounds while on the unit and under supervision.
