A client is being discharged from treatment for addiction to cocaine. Which statement made by the client would cause the most concern for the nurse?
“I’m not very comfortable with being alone yet."
“Shooting baskets helps me not think about getting high."
"I am going to take up a new hobby. It's time to start something new."
"I can still hang out with my old friends. I am just not going to use."
The Correct Answer is D
A. “I’m not very comfortable with being alone yet." While this statement reflects a challenge, it does not directly suggest a risk of relapse.
B. "Shooting baskets helps me not think about getting high." This reflects a positive coping mechanism.
C. "I am going to take up a new hobby. It's time to start something new." Engaging in new activities is a sign of recovery.
D. "I can still hang out with my old friends. I am just not going to use." Associating with friends who use substances significantly increases the risk of relapse.

Correct answers: The client is at highest risk for developing bleeding as evidenced by the client’s platelet’s count.
I: Bleeding- The client is at the highest risk for bleeding due to their critically low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of 35,000/mm³. Platelets are essential for blood clotting, and levels this low significantly increase the risk of spontaneous bleeding.
II: Platelet count- The platelet count is a direct indicator of the client’s bleeding risk. Alcohol use disorder often leads to thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow suppression, splenic sequestration, or liver dysfunction.
