Module 22 Addiction
The Concept of Addiction
1) The nurse at a substance use rehabilitation clinic uses a diagram as a teaching tool. In which way
should the nurse interpret this diagram?
A) Most substances that are used either imitate or block the action of neurotransmi?ers.
B) In order to be addictive, a substance must cause the release of excess neurotransmi?ers.
C) Substances that exert antagonistic effects can be used to counteract the addictive tendencies of
substances that exert agonistic effects.
D) People with addictive personalities process neurotransmi?ers differently than people who are less
prone to addiction.
Answer: A
Explanation: A) Most substances that are used either mimic or block neurotransmi?ers at critical
receptor sites.
B) These drugs exert agonistic effects if they boost neurotransmi?er synthesis, increase neurotransmi?er
release, or activate receptors that normally respond to neurotransmi?ers.
C) Substances that are used exert antagonistic effects if they interfere with neurotransmi?er release,
occupy receptor sites that are normally sensitive to neurotransmi?ers, or cause leakage of
neurotransmi?ers from synaptic vesicles. Both drugs with agonistic effects and those with antagonistic
effects can be addictive, and administering one class of drug will not counteract the addictive tendencies
of the other class.
D) Researchers have not identified an addictive personality type.

D) Complete a crisis assessment with the student
Answer: D

limited to this particular student.
B) There is no need to refer the student for counseling at this time.
C) There is no evidence that students are driving while intoxicated.
D) The student should be assessed to determine the reason for frequent alcohol use. This crisis
assessment will allow the nurse to determine the appropriate course of action.
