A nurse prepares to discharge a client with chronic pancreatitis. Which question should the nurse ask to ensure safety upon discharge?

Rationale: A. While monitoring vital signs can be part of self-care, it is not directly related to safety in chronic pancreatitis. The primary risk involves exacerbation of the disease rather than cardiovascular monitoring at home. B. Chronic pancreatitis is exacerbated by alcohol use, which can trigger severe pain, further pancreatic injury, and complications such as malabsorption or diabetes. Ensuring that the client has removed alcohol from the home environment is a critical safety measure to prevent relapse and reduce the risk of readmission. C. This question is more relevant to mobility or fall risk assessment, which is not a primary safety concern for chronic pancreatitis discharge. D. While nutrition is important for chronic pancreatitis management, asking this question addresses independence and dietary adherence, not immediate safety. It is secondary to ensuring alcohol avoidance and preventing disease exacerbation.
