Select the priority outcome for a patient completing the fourth alcohol-detoxification program in 1 year. Prior to discharge, the patient will:
a. state, "I know I need long-term treatment.".
b. use denial and rationalization in healthier ways.
c. identify constructive outlets for expression of anger.
d. develop a trusting relationship with one staff member.
A
The key refers to the need for ongoing treatment after detoxification and is the best goal related to controlling relapse. The scenario does not give enough information to determine whether anger has been identified as a problem. A trusting relationship, while desirable, would not help the patient maintain sobriety.
