Free Nursing Study Resources

Correct Answer is ["A","D","E"]

Explanation

Rationale:

1. Working with an addiction therapist for several months will assist in my recovery. This statement reflects an acknowledgment of the importance of therapy in her recovery process, indicating an understanding of the treatment plan.
2. The Alcoholics Anonymous program would be a great resource, but they do not have meetings when I'm free.
While it acknowledges AA as a resource, it doesn't show an understanding of prioritizing meetings or seeking alternative solutions.
3. It is not safe for me to drink alcohol, but I am still able to smoke marijuana without problems.
This indicates a misconception; if alcohol is unsafe, other substances likely are too.

4. Identifying potential triggers allows me to proactively utilize coping strategies.

This statement demonstrates an understanding of the importance of identifying triggers and implementing coping strategies to prevent relapse, indicating engagement in the treatment process.
5. Relapse is an expected complication of substance use; thus, prevention strategies and awareness of my emotions are important.
Acknowledging relapse as a potential complication and recognizing the importance of prevention strategies and emotional awareness indicates a realistic understanding of the challenges associated with recovery.

6. The treatment options for alcoholism are limited to inpatients, with very few resources for outpatients.
This is factually incorrect and doesn't show understanding of the variety of treatment options available.

A. A peanut butter sandwich with soda and cookies. B. A salad with three kinds of lettuce and fruit. C. A tuna fish sandwich with chips and ice cream. D. Vegetable soup, crackers, and milk.
