The nurse working with family members of an addicted person will evaluate that the teaching done with family members is successful when the family members verbalize the need to:
a. give the addicted person more support and understanding
b. forget and forgive the addicted person and move on
c. let the addict suffer the logical consequences of addictive behavior
d. share with extended family members and coworkers that addiction is a disease
C
The nurse would recognize that teaching of family members was successful if family members verbalized that they should let the addict suffer the logical consequences of addictive behavior. Family members who assist an alcoholic or drug addict in maintaining addictive behaviors only aid their loved one in the general downward spiral of chemical dependence. Family members need help to realize that there is hope for recovery only if and when the addict him- or herself is willing to stop the addiction. Enabling behaviors serve only to keep the addict from having to confront his or her behavior.
