Which of the following statements by a client being discharged from an addiction recovery unit would indicate the priority in the discharge plan has been effectively communicated?
  1. “I will not call my old buddies when I get home.”
  2. “My family and friends understand I will need their support to stay sober.”
  3. “I have a meeting to go to tonight, and a list of aftercare programs I will call.”
  4. B and C.
Explanation
Answer: C - The priority for a discharge plan of a chemically-dependent client is providing arrangements for aftercare and support services. The potential for relapse within the first few months after completion of a chemical dependency program is extremely high without outpatient support. It is the responsibility of the nurse to include aftercare arrangements in the discharge plan.
