A nurse leader facilitating a group of recovering alcoholics observes patients drinking nonalcoholic look-alike beer and wine coolers they have brought with them instead of the available decaffeinated coffee and soda.
 
  An appropriate response from the nurse would be: a. telling the patients that they are behaving inappropriately and instructing them to throw the nonalcoholic beer and wine drinks away.

  c. ignoring their behavior but firmly stating If you want me to return next week, all of you will come prepared to appropriately participate in this group..
  d. stating, I see that some of you are drinking nonalcoholic beverages and wine coolers. What is your understanding of the purpose of this group?

Answer to Question 1

D
There are many dynamic reasons that might be postulated about why alcohol-troubled patients would bring pseudo-alcoholic beverages to the group. The facilitator needs to be assertive and bring the behavior out to the group for its members to examine. It is time to review the purpose of the group and then to assist the group in reflecting on their behavior and its meaning for their sobriety. The remaining options do not attempt to determine the reason for the inappropriate behavior.

Answer to Question 2

D
A POS plan allows consumers to choose between delivery systems at the time they seek care. The other types of plans listed limit the clinicians and/or the agencies that can be used for health care services.
