What should the entire health team focus on during the rehabilitation phase?

A. Help the patient interact in nonaddictive activities. While engaging in nonaddictive activities is important for long-term recovery, the primary concern during the detoxification period is managing withdrawal symptoms and ensuring safety.
B. Enroll the patient in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Enrolling in AA or similar support groups is beneficial for ongoing recovery, but the focus during detoxification should be on managing acute withdrawal symptoms and safety.
C. Keep the patient safe from aspiration and seizure. During detoxification, patients are at risk for serious complications such as seizures and aspiration due to withdrawal symptoms. Ensuring patient safety by monitoring for these conditions is a primary goal.
D. Help the patient gain insight into the addiction. Gaining insight into addiction is important for long-term recovery but is not the immediate priority during the detoxification period, which focuses on managing physical withdrawal symptoms and ensuring patient safety.

A. COPD: While COPD is a chronic condition that can be exacerbated by infections, it is not directly caused by decreased immune resistance.
B. Atelectasis: Atelectasis refers to the collapse of part of the lung, often due to surgery or immobility, rather than decreased resistance to infection.
C. Bronchitis: Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, which can be an issue, but pneumonia is more directly related to infection risk.
D. Pneumonia: Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs and older adults with decreased immune resistance are at increased risk for developing this condition
