A client is prescribed disulfiram as part of his alcohol treatment program to prevent relapse. The client asks the nurse, 'How will this drug help me?' Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: It can help to prevent you from drinking. Disulfiram works by causing unpleasant symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, and headache) when alcohol is consumed, acting as a deterrent to drinking. This helps the client stay sober and avoid relapse. Incorrect choices: A: It will help to cure your alcoholism - Disulfiram does not cure alcoholism but helps manage it. C: It makes the withdrawal symptoms less troublesome - Disulfiram does not address withdrawal symptoms. D: It helps to clear the alcohol out of your body - Disulfiram does not clear alcohol from the body but rather prevents its metabolism, leading to adverse effects if alcohol is consumed.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. This act addresses the need for a continuum of care approach by providing federal funding for homeless assistance programs that offer a range of services to individuals experiencing homelessness. It emphasizes the importance of coordination among various service providers to ensure a seamless transition from emergency shelters to permanent housing. Choice A: Bringing Home America Act does not specifically focus on homeless assistance programs or the continuum of care approach. Choice B: Affordable Care Act primarily focuses on healthcare reform and expanding access to healthcare services, not specifically related to addressing homelessness. Choice C: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act aims to stimulate economic recovery through job creation and infrastructure projects, not directly related to addressing homelessness or providing a continuum of care approach.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the individual demonstrates resilience by adapting to adversity and taking proactive steps to maintain financial stability after a setback. This shows a positive coping mechanism and ability to bounce back. A is incorrect as repressing stressors is not a healthy way of dealing with challenges. B is incorrect as becoming depressed indicates a lack of resilience. C, although a challenging situation, does not necessarily indicate the highest level of resilience as the individual is not actively taking steps to improve their situation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the client with surgical hypoparathyroidism and positive Trousseau's sign indicates a potential life-threatening condition due to hypocalcemia. Trousseau's sign is a clinical indicator of hypocalcemia, which can lead to serious complications such as seizures and tetany. This client needs immediate intervention to prevent further complications. Choice B is incorrect because while Clostridium difficile with acute diarrhea requires prompt treatment, it is not as immediately life-threatening as hypocalcemia. Choice C is incorrect as well, as although acute kidney injury is serious, a low specific gravity alone does not necessarily indicate an immediate threat to the client's life. Choice D is also incorrect as oral cancer with a sore on the gums, while concerning, is not an immediate priority compared to the potential life-threatening complications of hypocalcemia.
