"Verbalizes that a substance abuse problem exists " is an appropriate initial outcome criterion for this client
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The client must recognize that there is an issue of substance abuse that creates disorder; verbalizing that a substance abuse problem exists depicts that the client is not ignoring and takes the very first step towards development.
Once a problem is established, it is possible to discuss or find out the number of ways in which drug use has motivated the life of the client and the relatable behavioral issues, and the nurse may help the client by communicating and managing unpleasant feelings.
