Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a substance abuse clinic is assessing a client who recently started taking disulfiram. The client reports having discontinued the medication after experiencing severe nausea and vomiting. Which of the following reasons should the nurse suspect to be a likely cause of the client's distress?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: The client consumed alcohol while taking the medication. Disulfiram is a medication used to support abstinence from alcohol by causing unpleasant effects if alcohol is consumed. When alcohol is consumed while taking disulfiram, it can lead to severe reactions such as nausea and vomiting due to the buildup of acetaldehyde in the blood. This reaction is known as the disulfiram-alcohol reaction.
Therefore, in this scenario, the client's distress is likely due to consuming alcohol while on disulfiram, rather than an allergic response, common side effect, or overdose.
