Question 2

   Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
  A) Relapse is a normal part of recovery; you can learn from this experience so it will be easier to avoid it or a similar one in the future.
  B) Face it, you will always be an alcoholic, and relapse is inevitable because it is part of the illness.
  C) If you didn't have disturbed thoughts from your schizophrenia, you wouldn't be tempted to drink.
