HESI CASE STUDY ALCOHOLISM A client is accompanied to the emergency department (ED) by a police officer who found him standing on a bridge, threatening to jump. The client planned to jump off the bridge because significant other moved out of their shared home and the client lost their job as a chef several days ago. The client has a strong odor of alcohol on their breath, but reports drinking only four beers in the last 12 hours. The client denies using medications or illegal drugs within the past 72 hours. The client is known to the nursing staff because of previous admissions related to alcohol abuse. The client is angry and uncooperative, and the nurses will not allow the client to leave. The client states that they have felt sad for several weeks, which is the reason for drinking alcohol. The client reports sleeping 5 to 6 hours a night and states that their appetite is poor, resulting in significant weight loss over the past month. Physic - CORRECT ANSWER- A simple tool the nurse can use to screen for alcoholism is the CAGE questionnaire. CAGE is an acronym that represents the four questions it contains. - CORRECT ANSWER- What is the first question that the nurse should ask? "Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?" Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?" Have you ever thought that you should cut down on your drinking?" "Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover?" - CORRECT ANSWER-Have you ever thought that you should cut down on your drinking?" This is the first question in the questionnaire. In CAGE, C stands for cut down. Alcoholic may realize they consume too much alcohol, which leads to uninhibited and embarrassing behavior. When sober, an alcoholic may make a pledge to reduce consumption.
