Nursing: A Concept-Based Approach to Learning Vol. 2 – 4th Edition Pearson - Test Bank
The Concept of Addiction:
1) The nurse at an outpatient addiction clinic uses the following diagram as a teaching tool. In
which way should this diagram be interpreted?
A) Most abused substances either imitate or block the action of neurotransmitters.
B) In order to be addictive, a substance must cause the release of excess neurotransmitters.
C) Substances that exert antagonistic effects can be used to counteract the addictive tendencies of
substances that exert agonistic effects.
D) People with addictive personalities process neurotransmitters differently than people who are
less prone to addiction.
Answer: A
Explanation: A) Most abused substances either mimic or block neurotransmitters at critical
receptor sites.
B) These drugs exert agonistic effects if they boost neurotransmitter synthesis, increase
neurotransmitter release, or activate receptors that normally respond to neurotransmitters.
C) Abused substances exert antagonistic effects if they interfere with neurotransmitter release,
occupy receptor sites that are normally sensitive to neurotransmitters, or cause leakage of
neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles. Both drugs with agonistic effects and those with
antagonistic effects can be addictive, and administering one class of drug will not counteract the
addictive tendencies of the other class.
D) Researchers have not identified an addictive personality type.

and safe patient care. | Nursing Process: Evaluation
Learning Outcome: 22.1. Summarize the processes involved in addiction.
MNL LO: Analyze the concept of addiction and its application to nursing care.
2) A public health nurse is presenting a teaching session about alcohol use to a group of college
seniors. During the session, one of the students admits to frequent alcohol use. Which action
should the nurse take?
A) Initiate a community assessment of the campus
B) Contact the campus nurse and refer the student for services
C) Notify campus security that the student may be driving while intoxicated
D) Complete a crisis assessment with the student
Answer: D
Explanation: A) A community assessment is not necessary at this time because the issue
appears to be limited to this particular student.
B) Contacting the campus nurse is not advised without the student's permission.
C) There is no evidence that the student is driving while intoxicated.
D) The student should be assessed to determine the extent of crisis he or she is facing as the
result of frequent alcohol use. This crisis assessment will allow the nurse to determine the
appropriate course of action.
