NCLEX RN Practice Question

Connecting the client with a local support group is the best intervention because it directly addresses their feeling of being unable to stop drinking without help. Groups like Alcoholics Anonymous offer structured support, a sense of community, and shared experiences that can improve motivation and decrease feelings of isolation. While providing information on withdrawal symptoms or treatment programs is useful for education and planning, these actions do not address the client’s immediate concern about their inability to cope alone. Gradual reduction of alcohol intake independently is not advised due to potential dangers associated with unsafe withdrawal and the lack of professional oversight.
