A nurse is counseling the spouse of a client who has a history of alcohol abuse. What does 
the nurse explain is the main reason for drinking alcohol in people with a long history of 
alcohol abuse?
1
They are dependent on it.
2
They lack the motivation to stop.
3
They use it for coping.
4
They enjoy the associated socialization. ✓ Ans- 1
Alcohol causes both physical and psychological dependence; the individual needs the 
alcohol to function. Alcoholism is a disorder that entails physical and psychological 
dependence. Because alcohol is so physiologically addictive, the client's body craves the 
alcohol, so most clients lack the motivation to stop because they will go into withdrawal. 
Clients who abuse alcohol have numbed their ability to utilize other coping mechanisms, so 
alcohol is used as an excuse for coping. People with alcoholism usually drink alone or feel 
alone in a crowd; socialization is not the prime reason for their drinking.
