Social needs (D) relate to belongingness and relationships, which are not directly impacted in this scenario.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it focuses on gathering specific and relevant information about the client's substance use history. By asking about the type of substances used and frequency, the nurse can assess the severity of the addiction and plan appropriate interventions. A: This question assumes a judgmental tone and may make the client defensive. C: This question is more about the client's commitment to treatment rather than exploring their substance use history. D: This question may imply blame on the client and does not facilitate an open and honest discussion about their substance use.
Question 4 of 5
The community health nurse is working with a group of teenagers as part of an after-school health promotion program. When working with this age group, which of the following risk factors should the nurse be aware of?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because teenagers are indeed at higher risk for developing mental illnesses due to various factors such as hormonal changes, academic pressures, social media influence, and peer relationships. This age group commonly experiences stress and emotional challenges, making them vulnerable to mental health issues. Option A is incorrect as teenagers are typically covered under their parents' insurance. Option B is incomplete. Option C is incorrect as teenagers are not immune to depression.
Question 5 of 5
When nurses interact with clients with SUDs, which of the following terms/language would be best to avoid because it may promote stigmatization of SUDs?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because using terms like "clean sample" or "dirty drug test" implies moral judgment and can perpetuate stigma towards individuals with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). Step 1: "Clean" and "dirty" are value-laden terms that suggest purity and impurity, reinforcing negative stereotypes. Step 2: Stigmatizing language can discourage individuals from seeking help. Step 3: Avoiding such language promotes a non-judgmental and supportive environment for clients with SUDs. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they use person-first language and neutral terms that focus on the individual rather than the behavior or test result.
