Answer to Question 1

3. There are studies that support a genetic link for developing alcoholism..

Rationale:
Studies have identified a link between biologic factors and the development of an addiction. Although the client does have an increased risk, advising the client to avoid drinking or that becoming an alcoholic will most likely occur is inappropriate. Giving the client permission to drink does not address the question being posed by the client.

Answer to Question 2

C
The task statement is an action verb. This component describes what the patient will do to obtain an expected change in behavior. The task statement describes an observable behavior. When the actual behavior is stated as a task statement, the nurse can determine whether the patient is demonstrating achievement of the expected outcome. Only one task statement should be used for each outcome.
