Concepts of interactionism are evidenced in which of the following statements the nurse makes to the parent of an adolescent hospitalized for an overdose of cocaine and Valium?
 
  1. Peer pressure is usually responsible for these accidental overdoses.
  2. All behavior has meaning, so we will focus on trying to understand the meaning of the drug use as well as the occurrence of overdose.
  3. Use of Valium probably means your child accidentally overdosed by trying to treat the effects of cocaine.
  4. Adolescence is such a painful time. Rehabilitation programs give kids a chance to get away from their everyday pressures.

  1. Check for seizure precaution equipment

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: To understand clients' actions, the psychiatricmental health nurse must identify the meanings those actions have for them. Assumptions about peer pressure, painful experiences, and the need to retreat from life stressors indicate the nurse discounts the meaning of the experiences to the client. It is essential that psychiatricmental health nurses take into account the social and cultural environment of each client and not make generalizations about cause or meanings of experiences. It is inappropriate for nurses to provide information that is unsubstantiated or reflects the nurse's personal point of view.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Vital signs should be monitored frequently in clients with high blood alcohol levels to prevent serious physical complications. A darkened room may increase the intoxicated client's confusion. Seizure activity is not a sign of alcohol intoxication. Restraints are an intervention of last resort and would not be indicated for restless behavior.
