A nurse is assisting with the admission of a client who is experiencing acute alcohol intoxication. When working with this client, which of the following approaches should the nurse take?

A. Maintain a nonjudgmental attitude: A nonjudgmental approach promotes trust and encourages the client to disclose pertinent information. B. Avoid mentioning alcohol use when collecting client data: It is essential to discuss alcohol use openly to guide effective care and intervention. C. Offer sympathetic support: While empathy is important, over-sympathizing may undermine professional boundaries. D. Verbalize disapproval of the substance abuse: Expressing disapproval is likely to provoke defensiveness and hinder communication.
