Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is withdrawing from a stimulant. Which of the following should be prioritized for safety in a client with stimulant withdrawal?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because a client going through stimulant withdrawal can be at high risk for self-harm or harm to others due to the psychological and physiological effects of withdrawal. This is a priority for safety because the client may experience agitation, aggression, impulsivity, and irrational behavior. Addressing the risk of self-harm or harm to others is crucial to prevent any potential harm to the client or those around them.
Other choices are less prioritized:
A: Withdrawal symptoms are important but ensuring safety from harm takes precedence.
B: Hallucinations may occur but are secondary to the immediate risk of harm.
C: Traumatic re-experiencing is a concern, but the imminent risk of self-harm or harm to others is more critical.
