Practice Question

Question 2 of 3.A nurse is working in an alcohol rehabilitation facility. A client she is caring for asks for a referral to a support group in the community that can help him maintain his sobriety. How should the nurse respond?

Answer Choices:

A. "Here are the phone numbers and meeting locations for Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery." ✓ Correct Answer

B. "I will help you enlist support from your loved ones."

C. "I will refer you to a primary care physician knowledgeable in caring for alcoholics."

D. "You will need to have your friends’ support."

Correct Answer:

"Here are the phone numbers and meeting locations for Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery."

Rationale:

📚Referring the client to community support groups like AA and SMART Recovery empowers self-management of sobriety.

🔄These groups offer peer support, which is critical in maintaining recovery from addiction.

🤝Although involving family and PCPs can help, they are not substitutes for community-based recovery support.

🎯This answer directly responds to the client’s request and supports autonomy.

📌Core Message

Connect clients to community support groups like AA to help maintain sobriety.
