Module 1: Addiction
Question 1. A nurse is helping a team address addiction. Which action best
demonstrates the highest-priority step for safe, effective concept-based nursing
care?
A. Identify the most immediate factor affecting addiction and act on it before
expanding the plan to secondary issues.
B. delay action until addiction application even when urgent information about
addiction is still missing.
C. Standardize all actions around addiction application application without
considering individual context, available evidence, or stakeholder priorities.
D. Choose the easiest short-term step and postpone deeper analysis of addiction
until after outcomes worsen.
✅ Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Identify the most immediate factor affecting addiction and act on it
before expanding the plan to secondary issues. is correct because effective work in
addiction begins with nursing judgment that matches the immediate context, uses
trustworthy evidence, and connects action to measurable results. This option
addresses addiction in a way that supports safe decision-making for the patient and
strengthens the nurse’s ability to support outcomes. The other options are less
appropriate because they either delay essential analysis, overgeneralize care, or
emphasize convenience instead of a structured response grounded in assessment
findings.
