A nurse is collecting data from a client who reports drinking alcoholic beverages daily but has not consumed alcohol in the last 24 hr. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of alcohol withdrawal?

A. Helping clients establish long-term goals can provide motivation and direction. However, while setting goals is important, it may not directly address immediate barriers to learning unless the goals are broken down into manageable steps that are relevant to the current learning session.
B. Teaching sessions should not be scheduled right before bedtime because older adults may be fatigued at the end of the day, which can impair their ability to concentrate and retain information. Fatigue can act as a barrier to effective learning.
C. Scheduling teaching sessions for a long duration could lead to cognitive overload and fatigue, which are significant barriers to learning.
D. This can help create a non-threatening learning environment and encourage open communication. This approach can reduce defensiveness and promote a collaborative atmosphere.

A. Adolescents who are preparing to leave home for college are generally more independent and have a higher level of verbal communication compared to younger children. They are less likely to be at high risk for physical abuse because they can potentially seek help or report abuse more readily.

B. School-age children typically have better verbal communication skills and may express their desires and feelings more clearly compared to younger children. They are generally less vulnerable to physical abuse compared to younger children who may not be able to communicate their experiences as effectively.
C. Preschoolers are at a higher risk for physical abuse compared to older children and adolescents. They are still developing verbal communication skills and may not be able to express their feelings or report abuse clearly. Their dependence on caregivers for basic needs and care also increases their vulnerability.
D. Toddlers, especially those with chronic health conditions like cystic fibrosis, are particularly vulnerable to physical abuse. Their young age, dependency on caregivers for basic needs, limited verbal communication skills, and potential health challenges increase their risk. Caregivers may feel overwhelmed or stressed by the child's condition, which could potentially contribute to abusive behaviors.
