A nurse is providing teaching about relapse prevention to a client who has schizophrenia. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A reason: Listing the negative effects of alcohol use can help the client gain insight into the consequences of their actions and reinforce their motivation to remain sober. Reflecting on personal losses and health issues due to alcohol can be a powerful deterrent against relapse.

Choice B reason: While attending support group meetings can be beneficial, saying "as needed" may not provide the structured support necessary for preventing relapse. Regular attendance at support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is often recommended for sustained recovery.

Choice C reason: Lorazepam is not typically prescribed to prevent relapse in alcohol use disorder due to its potential for abuse and dependence. Instead, medications like naltrexone or acamprosate may be considered to help maintain abstinence.

Choice D reason: Revisiting familiar places may trigger cravings and is generally not advised. Instead, clients are encouraged to avoid places associated with their past alcohol use to reduce the risk of relapse.

Choice A reason: An altered level of consciousness is not typically associated with Alzheimer's disease. Patients with Alzheimer's may experience confusion or disorientation, but changes in consciousness, such as stupor or coma, are not characteristic symptoms of the disease.

Choice B reason: Failure to recognize familiar objects, known as agnosia, is a common finding in Alzheimer's disease. As the disease progresses, the ability to recognize objects, faces, and even sounds can be impaired, which is a direct result of the deterioration of brain areas involved in processing sensory information.

Choice C reason: Excessive motor activity is not a common finding in Alzheimer's disease. While patients may experience restlessness, the disease often leads to a decrease in overall activity levels due to cognitive decline and the eventual difficulty with coordination and motor functions.

Choice D reason: Rapid mood swings can occur in Alzheimer's disease, but they are not as prominent as other cognitive symptoms. Mood changes in Alzheimer's are usually a result of the frustration and confusion experienced by the patient rather than a direct symptom of the disease itself.
