Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a drug and alcohol detoxification center is planning care for a client who has alcohol use disorder. Which of the following interventions should the nurse identify as the priority?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Providing for adequate hydration and rest. This is the priority because clients with alcohol use disorder often experience dehydration and fatigue due to alcohol's diuretic effects and disrupted sleep patterns. Hydration and rest are essential for physical stabilization and overall well-being. Helping the client identify positive traits (
A) and educating about consequences (
C) are important but secondary to immediate physiological needs. Confronting denial (
D) may be counterproductive without addressing hydration and rest first.
