Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has Wernicke-Korsakoff psychosis as a result of chronic alcohol use disorder. Which of the following interventions should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administration of thiamine. Wernicke-Korsakoff psychosis is caused by thiamine deficiency, commonly seen in chronic alcohol use disorder. Thiamine supplementation is crucial to prevent and treat this condition. Monitoring for esophageal varices (
A) is important in liver cirrhosis, not directly related to Wernicke-Korsakoff psychosis. Placing the client in protective isolation (
B) is unnecessary in this case. Laboratory analysis of cardiac enzymes (
C) is not relevant to the management of Wernicke-Korsakoff psychosis. Thiamine administration is the key intervention for this condition.
