Question 1 of 5
The nurse is using the CAGE questionnaires as a screening tool for a client who is seeking help because his wife said he had a drinking problem. What information should the nurse explore in-depth with the client based on this screening tool?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The CAGE questionnaire is a screening tool used to identify alcohol abuse. Each letter in CAGE stands for a key question: "Cut down," "Annoyed by criticism," "Guilty feelings," and "Eye-opener." These questions help assess the client's alcohol-related behaviors and attitudes. Exploring the client's efforts to cut down on drinking indicates acknowledgment of a potential issue. Annoyance with questions may suggest defensiveness or denial. Feelings of guilt can indicate internal conflict about drinking, and using alcohol as an "Eye-opener" can signal dependence.
Therefore, delving into these specific areas can provide valuable insights into the client's alcohol use patterns and potential problems.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the purpose of the CAGE questionnaire in identifying alcohol abuse behaviors and attitudes.
