Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Disulfiram will prevent my cravings for alcohol.' Disulfiram (Antabuse) is a medication that causes a severe adverse reaction when alcohol is consumed, acting as a deterrent. It does not prevent cravings for alcohol. 'One should expect hand tremors to start less than 24 hours after I stop drinking.' Hand tremors are one of the early signs of alcohol withdrawal and typically begin within 6 to 12 hours after the last drink. 'Withdrawal symptoms should last about 5 to 7 days once they begin.' Alcohol withdrawal symptoms usually peak within 24 to 48 hours and can last up to 72 hours, though some symptoms may persist longer in severe cases. 'It is important that I take Vitamin C to prevent liver cirrhosis or other liver damage.' While vitamin supplementation is important for overall health, taking Vitamin C does not specifically prevent liver cirrhosis or other liver damage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ignore the incident since it is an attention-seeking behavior: Ignoring the incident is not appropriate because the client may be in distress or at risk of harm. Stay with the group and ask another client to go and check on the situation: Asking another client to check on the situation is not appropriate, as it is the nurse's responsibility to ensure the safety of all clients. Follow the client to determine the cause of the behavior: Following the client allows the nurse to assess and intervene appropriately to ensure the client's safety and address the cause of the behavior. Ask the group what they think about the client's behavior: Discussing the behavior with the group is not appropriate in an emergency situation and does not address the immediate needs of the distressed client.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Cannabis: While cannabis can alter perception and cause depersonalization, it is less likely to cause violent behavior and flashbacks. Heroin: Heroin is a depressant that typically causes sedation and euphoria, not heightened awareness or violent behavior. Cocaine: Cocaine is a stimulant that can cause heightened awareness but is less associated with depersonalization and flashbacks. Phencyclidine (PCP): PCP is known to cause severe alterations in perception, depersonalization, unpredictable and violent behavior, and flashbacks.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Facilitate time alone for the client. Allowing time alone is not appropriate for a suicidal client as it increases the risk of self-harm. Make a no self-harm contract. A no self-harm contract can be part of a suicide prevention plan, where the client agrees to not harm themselves and to seek help if they feel the urge to do so. Administer antianxiety medication: While medication can help with anxiety, it is not a primary intervention for immediate suicide prevention. Prevent family/friend visitation for 48 hours: Preventing visitation can increase feelings of isolation and is not an appropriate intervention for suicide prevention.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Increased body temperature: Alcohol consumption typically causes vasodilation, which can lead to a decrease in body temperature, not an increase. Cardiac dysrhythmias: Large amounts of alcohol can affect the heart's electrical system, leading to cardiac dysrhythmias. Hypotension: Alcohol is a vasodilator, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure (hypotension). Bradycardia: Alcohol typically causes tachycardia (increased heart rate), not bradycardia (decreased heart rate).
