Question: The following day, after all consultants have either met with the client or the attending healthcare provider (HCP), the nurse prepares for a follow-up discussion about treatment options. The psychologist reports that the client has newly diagnosed alcohol misuse, and he has probably had it for quite some time. He has reported that he usually enjoys about three quarts of whiskey each week. The client agrees to the nurse's request to sit with him for a while to discuss his treatment plan. His usual disengaged and surly affect has changed significantly. Today he is pleasant and very glad to see the nurse. What question should the nurse ask the client first? "Are you able to tell me about your treatment plan?" "Do you have any thoughts of harming yourself?" "Have you been drinking any alcohol at all today?" "How do you feel about your new diagnosis of alcohol misuse?"
