The nurse instructs the client about addiction and determines that the client understands the instructions when the client says:
1. "Addiction is a moral disease.".
2. "Addiction is an emotional attachment.".
3. "Addiction is a behavioral habit.".
4. "Addiction is a biopsychosocial problem.".
4. "Addiction is a biopsychosocial problem.".
Rationale:
The biopsychosocial explanation of addiction is supported by current research and takes a more holistic view of the problem. The view of addiction as a moral disease is nontherapeutic. Viewing addiction as only a behavioral or emotional problem oversimplifies a complex issue.
