A nurse is caring for a client who was admitted for alcohol detoxification. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect to observe that indicate the client is experiencing alcohol withdrawal?

A. Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), also known as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), is a type of dementia characterized by progressive degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. It is not typically associated with sleep and appetite changes.

B. TBI can cause changes in sleep patterns and concentration difficulties but it is not typically associated with lack of appetite as a primary symptom.

C.While it can lead to neurocognitive disorders, the symptoms might not be as prominent as in other forms of dementia, especially in the early stages.

D. Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative disorders caused by abnormal protein folding in the brain. These diseases can manifest with a variety of cognitive and neurological symptoms, but lack of sleep, lack of appetite, and difficulties with concentration are not typically prominent features of prion diseases.

C. Reinforcing teaching with vulnerable clients about strategies to prevent illness and promote health is the most immediate and direct action the nurse can take. Education empowers

individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, potentially preventing illness and reducing the need for healthcare services.

A. This action focuses on improving access to care but may not directly address the immediate health needs of vulnerable clients.

B. Protecting the rights and well-being of clients without housing is important, but it may take time to implement legislative changes and see the effects.

D. While advocating for policy change and advising elected officials on the needs of vulnerable populations is important for systemic change, it may not directly address the immediate health needs of vulnerable clients
