Simulated
The nurse is interviewing a client with a suspected alcohol-use disorder. Which question would be the most helpful in determining if the client may have this disorder?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Asking about guilt related to drinking (A) aligns with the CAGE questionnaire, a validated tool for screening alcohol-use disorder. It assesses the emotional and behavioral impact of drinking. Questions about type (B), social context (C), or age of onset (D) are less specific for diagnosing alcohol-use disorder.
