Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with alcohol use disorder. Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate for a client to prevent Korsakoff's syndrome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administering thiamine supplements as prescribed. Thiamine deficiency is a common cause of Korsakoff's syndrome in individuals with alcohol use disorder. Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential for proper brain function and metabolism. By administering thiamine supplements, the nurse can help prevent or treat thiamine deficiency, reducing the risk of developing Korsakoff's syndrome. Encouraging the client to consume foods high in vitamin B1 (
A) is beneficial but may not be sufficient to meet the increased demand in individuals with alcohol use disorder. Implementing strict bed rest (
B) is not indicated for preventing Korsakoff's syndrome. Restricting fluid intake (
C) does not address the underlying cause of Korsakoff's syndrome.
