A client has a blood alcohol level that is double the legal limit for driving yet does not exhibit behaviors of intoxication. The nurse knows that this is due to which effect?

A. "Her family will no longer be dysfunctional." Completing a treatment program does not guarantee that family dynamics will change or improve immediately. Family dysfunction is often deeply rooted and requires separate or concurrent therapy.

B. "She'll need ongoing support to remain abstinent." Recovery from alcoholism is an ongoing process, and continued support, whether through therapy, support groups, or counseling, is critical to maintaining abstinence and preventing relapse.

C. "She doesn't need to be concerned about abusing alcohol in the future." This statement is inaccurate because individuals recovering from alcoholism must remain vigilant to prevent relapse. Alcoholism is a chronic condition, and the risk of relapse remains.

D. "She can learn to consume alcohol without problems." This is incorrect, as individuals who have struggled with alcoholism typically need to abstain completely from alcohol to prevent relapse.

A. Benzodiazepines: Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed for short-term management of anxiety disorders due to their rapid anxiolytic effects.

B. SSRIs: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are frequently used as first-line treatment for various anxiety disorders due to their efficacy and favorable side effect profile.

C. Tricyclic antidepressants: Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are also used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, although they are less commonly prescribed than SSRIs due to their side effect profile.

D. Calcium channel blockers: Calcium channel blockers are not typically used to treat anxiety disorders. They are mainly used for cardiovascular conditions, such as hypertension and arrhythmias.
