Question 1 of 5
A client with a history of substance abuse is admitted. Which assessment tool should the nurse use to evaluate withdrawal risk?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: CIWA-Ar. This tool, the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol, is specifically designed to assess withdrawal symptoms in clients with a history of substance abuse, providing a comprehensive evaluation of withdrawal risk. The CIWA-Ar includes items such as agitation, anxiety, tremors, and hallucinations, allowing the nurse to identify the severity of withdrawal symptoms and determine the appropriate interventions. The other choices are not suitable for assessing withdrawal risk in this population. A: CAGE Questionnaire is used for alcohol screening, not withdrawal assessment. C: AIMS is for assessing movement disorders related to antipsychotic medications. D: Beck Depression Inventory is used to assess depression, not withdrawal risk.
