Question 1 of 5

A nurse is educating a group of clients about addiction. The nurse should include that which of the following factors increases the potential for addiction?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the developing brain is more vulnerable to addiction when exposed to substances at an early age. During adolescence, the brain is still developing, particularly the prefrontal cortex responsible for decision-making and impulse control. Early substance exposure can disrupt this development, increasing the risk of addiction.
Choice A is incorrect because while medical insurance availability is important for treatment, it does not directly increase the potential for addiction.
Choice C is incorrect as cognitive deficits do not necessarily predispose someone to addiction.
Choice D is incorrect because the age of initial substance use alone does not determine addiction potential.
