The client is an athlete. The client uses alcohol on the weekends and asks the nurse how that may affect athletic performance. Which of the following is an unexpected response by the nurse?
1. "Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and will negatively impact your athletic performance.
2. "Alcohol has been linked with sports-related injuries.". 3. "Alcohol increases your heart rate and can cause insomnia.". 4. "Alcohol makes it difficult to rehydrate because it has diuretic effects.".

Rationale: Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Athletes use central nervous system stimulants like caffeine to positively impact their athletic performance. Alcohol has been related to sports-related injuries. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and would decrease your heart rate and may induce sleep. Alcohol does make it difficult to rehydrate and recover from training because it prevents carbohydrate uptake and acts as a diuretic.
