Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports a history of frequent alcohol consumption. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask when screening for alcohol use disorder?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Has a family member indicated that you should cut down on your drinking?" This question is relevant for screening alcohol use disorder as it assesses the impact of the client's drinking on their relationships and social interactions. It also indirectly explores the client's level of alcohol consumption and its consequences. It is important in screening for alcohol use disorder to consider the influence of family members as they often observe changes in behavior related to alcohol abuse.
Choice B: "Have you had a glass of wine in the last week?" is too specific and does not provide insight into the pattern or consequences of alcohol consumption.
Choice C: "Do you drink alcohol with your friends?" focuses on social aspects rather than assessing for problematic drinking behaviors.
Choice D: "Do you enjoy drinking alcohol?" is subjective and does not directly address the potential presence of alcohol use disorder.
