Final answer:
The correct answer to the question is a slow heart rate which is referred to as bradycardia, not tachycardia, meaning option A) Tachycardia is incorrect. Hypertension (B) and fever (C) are not typical findings in anorexia. D) Murmur is not a direct consequence of anorexia but could result from complications.
Step-by-step explanation:
When assessing the adolescent with anorexia, the nurse would expect to find a bradycardia rather than tachycardia as the heart rate is typically slower in patients with anorexia due to the body conserving energy. Hypertension is usually not associated with anorexia. A fever is not a common symptom of anorexia. While a murmur could be present if there is a comorbid condition or as a result of long-term effects on the heart, it is not a primary finding linked directly to anorexia.
