[Answered]: During heroin withdrawal, a client complains…

During heroin withdrawal, a client complains continuously to the nursing staff about his discomfort. One day the nurse overhears a nursing assistant say to the client, “You brought these problems on yourself by taking drugs. What did you think would happen when you continued to use heroin?” Which of the following comments to the nursing assistant would be most helpful? “Your comments were inappropriate. I will have to report this to the supervisor.” “Weren’t you a bit hard on this client? He is having a great deal of discomfort.” “This client is getting on all our nerves.” “I overheard you speaking with the client and I thought your comment about his causing his own problems was inappropriate. You have worked well with other addicted clients. What is different about this man?”
