Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a rehabilitation center is planning care for a newly admitted client who has a history of alcohol use disorder. Which of the following client goals is the highest priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client's withdrawal from alcohol will be managed without complications. This is the highest priority goal because alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, requiring close monitoring and interventions to prevent complications such as seizures or delirium tremens. Managing withdrawal safely is crucial before addressing other goals.
Explanation of other choices:
A: Implementing alternative strategies for managing anxiety is important but not the highest priority when the client is at risk for severe alcohol withdrawal.
B: Acknowledging alcohol dependence and the need for treatment is essential but may not be immediately achievable if the client is in acute withdrawal.
D: Rebuilding damaged interpersonal relationships is an important long-term goal but not as urgent as managing alcohol withdrawal to ensure the client's safety.
