NCLEX RN Practice Question

A 35-year-old client presents to the clinic for a regular visit. During the appointment, they admit to consuming excessive amounts of alcohol daily but do not perceive any issues with their drinking. What is the best approach for the nurse when educating the client about reducing this high-risk behavior?

  • Advise the client to reduce alcohol consumption promptly and discuss the potential consequences if they continue.

  • Provide the client with printed educational materials about alcohol use and inform them they need to reduce consumption independently.

  • Share stories of other clients who faced significant health problems due to excessive drinking and suggest they strive to avoid a similar outcome.

  • Engage the client in a conversation using motivational interviewing techniques to explore their feelings about their drinking and its impact on their health.
