A nurse is caring for a client who has a recent diagnosis of alcohol use disorder. Which of the following statements made by the client indicates acceptance of the diagnosis?

A. "I do not see myself attending community support groups": This indicates resistance to accepting the diagnosis. Participation in community support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, is often an important part of treatment and recovery for alcohol use disorder. B. "My drinking isn't as bad as everyone says it is.": This statement reflects denial, a common defense mechanism in individuals with alcohol use disorder. It shows a lack of acceptance and an unwillingness to acknowledge the severity of the problem. C. "My family has a history of alcohol use disorder": This indicates acceptance of the diagnosis as the client is acknowledging the familial connection and potential genetic predisposition to alcohol use disorder. It shows insight into the condition and a willingness to consider its impact. D. "I was diagnosed because my spouse is upset about my drinking": This statement shifts the responsibility for the diagnosis onto the spouse and does not show acceptance of the disorder. It suggests that the client may not fully accept the diagnosis as their own issue.
