NCLEX Alcohol Substance Abuse-Questions and Answers Graded A+ 1. Family members of an alcoholic client ask the nurse to help them intervene. Which action is essential for a successful intervention? 1. All family members must tell the client they're powerless. 2. All family members must describe how the addiction affects them. 3. All family members must come up with their share of financial support. 4. All family members must become caregivers during the detoxification period. - ANSWER-2. After the family is taught about addiction, they must write down examples of how the addiction has affected each of them and use this information during the intervention. It isn't necessary to tell the client the family is powerless. The family is empowered through this intervention experience. In many cases, a third-party payer will help with treatment costs. Doing an intervention doesn't make family members responsible for financial support or providing care and support during the detoxification period. Lisko, Susan ().

Asking when he believes he can become a social drinker will only encourage the addicted person to deny the problem and develop an unrealistic, self-defeating goal. Asking how many alcoholic beverages a social drinker can consume and why the client thinks he can drink normally will encourage the addicted person to defend himself and deny the problem.
