Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for disulfiram for alcohol use disorder. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Avoid all products containing alcohol, including mouthwash. This is crucial because disulfiram causes a severe reaction when alcohol is consumed, leading to unpleasant symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, and flushing. By avoiding all alcohol-containing products, the client can prevent these adverse reactions and support their treatment for alcohol use disorder effectively. Taking the medication in the morning (
B) or experiencing a metallic taste (
C) are not directly related to the mechanism of disulfiram. Discontinuing the medication if drinking resumes (
D) is incorrect as the medication should be continued to deter alcohol consumption.
