Health teaching that the nurse should implement prior to discharging a client who was brought to the ED during a "bad trip" following LSD ingestion is:
1. How to ensure good trips in the future
2. How to treat needle tracks to avoid infection
3. What flashbacks are and what to do if they occur
4. Arranging for a sponsor who will guide recovery
ANS: 3
Options 1 and 2 are not therapeutic. Arranging for a sponsor may be helpful at some point (op-tion 4); however, teaching about flashbacks is a more important intervention for safety reasons (option 3).
