A nurse is preparing to perform an Alcohol Use Disorders identification Test with a client. Which of the following questions should the nurse Include?

Rationale: A. "Why did you start drinking alcohol?": This question explores motivations or personal history but is not part of the standardized Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). The AUDIT focuses on quantity, frequency, and consequences of alcohol use rather than reasons for drinking. B. "Does anyone else in your family have a drinking problem?": Family history of alcohol use may be relevant for overall assessment but is not included in the AUDIT, which is designed to screen the client’s own drinking behaviors and risks. C. "How old were you when you started to drink alcohol?": Age of initiation provides background information but is not a question within the AUDIT. The test is concerned with current patterns and consequences of alcohol consumption. D. "How often do you drink alcohol?": This question is a standard component of the AUDIT and assesses the frequency of alcohol consumption. It helps identify patterns of use and potential risk for alcohol-related problems, making it appropriate for inclusion in the screening.
