Nursing 172: Substance Use and Addictive Disorders
nursing care plan: dual diagnosis: nursing interventions
-encourage open expression of feelings -validate patient's anger and frustration in dealing with diagnoses -maintain frequent contact with the patient, even with just brief phone calls -give positive feedback for abstinence on a day-to-day basis -if drinking/substance abuse occurs, discuss the events that led to the incident with the patient in a nonjudgmental manner; discuss ways to avoid this in the future -teach positive coping strategies and stress management skills -encourage patient to log feelings, activities, and thoughts -refer patient to community support services that address mental health and substance related needs
alcohol: treatment for intoxication/overdose
-gastric lavage -dialysis -support of respiratory cardiovascular functioning in ICU
Nursing care plan for alcohol treatment program: nursing interventions
-give the patient and significant others information about alcoholism in a matter-of-fact manner. do not argue, but dispel myths such as "I'm not an alcoholic if I only drink on the weekend" -avoid the patients attempt to only focus on external problems, such as martial or employment problems, without relating them to the problem of alcoholism -encourage the patient to identify behaviors that have caused problems in their life -consistently redirect the patient's focus to their own problems and to what they can do about them -do not allow the patient to rationalize difficulties or blame others or circumstances beyond what they can control -positively reinforce the patient when they identify or express feelings or shows any insight into their behaviors or consequences -encourage other patients in the program to provide feedback for each other
opioids: time until withdrawal symptoms occur
-heroin: 6-24 hours; peak at 2-3 days; subside at 5-7
examples of nursing diagnosis or addiction, alcoholism, and substance abuse:
-imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements -risk for injury, infection -diarrhea -excess fluid volume -activity intolerance -ineffective denial -ineffective role performance -dysfunctional family process: alcoholism -ineffective coping
Stimulants: intoxication and overdose
-intoxications develops rapidly -overdose: seizures, coma, and death (rare).
Hallucinogens intoxication
-marked by several maladaptive behavioral or psychomotor changes -anxiety -depression -paranoid ideation -ideas of reference, fear, or losing one's mind -potentially dangerous behaviors (jumping out of windows to 'fly') physiological symptoms include sweating,, tachycardia, palpations. blurred vision. tremors, lack of coordination PCP intoxication include belligerence, aggression, impulsivity, and unpredictable behavior ***overdose does not oocur
opioids: medications to help with withdrawals
-methadone up to 120 mg/day for maintenance for opioid use (may cause nausea and vomiting) -levomethadyl 60-90 mg three times a week for maintenance for opioid use (do not take on consecutive days- take home doses are not permitted) -buprenorphine 4/1 mg-24/6 mg daily for opioid cravings and maintenance (may cause orthostatic hypotension, sedation, avoid CNS depressants) -naltrexone 350 mg/week, divided into 3 doses for opiate blocking effect (may cause pt to not respond to opioids, headache, restlessness, irritability) clonidine 0.1 mg every 6 hours prn opioid withdrawal symptoms (check BP before each dose-hold if hypotensive)
Cannabis withdrawal symptoms
-muscle aches -sweating -anxiety -tremors -*no clinically significant withdrawal syndrome is identified
Sedatives, Hypnotics, and Anxiolytics: detoxification
-often managed by tapering off the drug the patient used over days-weeks
Pharmacologic treatment goals for withdrawals
-permit safe withdrawals from alcohol, sedative-hypnotics, and benzodiazepines -prevent relapse -promote safety****
nursing care plan: dual diagnosis: assessment data
-poor impulse control -low self-esteem -lack of social skills -dissatisfaction with life circumstances -lack of purposeful daily activity
Sedatives, Hypnotics, and Anxiolytics: intoxication
-similar to alcohol -in prescribes amounts, can cause drowsiness and reduce anxiety (intended purpose) intoxication: -slurred speech -unsteady gait -lack of coordination -labile mood -impaired attention or memory -stupor or coma
inhalants intoxication treatment
-supporting respiratory and cardiac functioning until the substance is removed -no specific medications to treat toxicity
Sedatives, Hypnotics, and Anxiolytics: withdrawals
-symptom onset depends on half-life of drug (6 hours-1 week) -symptoms are the opposite of the acute effects of the drug: autonomic hypersensitivity (increased BP, pulse, respirations, and temp), hand tremor, insomnia, anxiety, nausea, psychomotor agitation; seizures and hallucinations can occur but are rare
inhalants withdrawal and detoxication
-there are no withdrawal or detox symptoms -frequent users report psychological cravings -long term users may experience persistent dementia, or inhalants-induced disorders such as psychosis, anxiety, and mood disorders -disorders are treated symptomatically
Alcohol Withdrawal and detoxification
-typically begin 4-12 hours reduced alcohol intake, usually peaks on the 2nd day and is over on about day 5; may take 1-2 weeks -can be life threatening; detoxification should be medically supervised symptoms include: -tremors -sweating -elevated pulse and BP -insomnia -nausea and vomiting
Hallucinogens withdrawal and detoxification
-withdrawal syndromes do not occur -some people have reported cravings of the drug -hallucinogens can produce flashbacks
The nurse should anticipate which behaviors in a client experiencing alcohol withdrawal? Select all that apply: 1. Hypertension 2. Tinnitus 3. Pupil constriction 4. Tachycardia 5. Sedation 6. Startles easily
1, 4, 6 An increased blood pressure and an increased pulse, dilated pupils, are the most prevalent and first clinical manifestations experienced by the client in alcohol withdrawal. Other clinical manifestations include irritability, a sense of being hyperactive, startling easily, anxiety, insomnia, and tremors.
The priority nursing intervention in caring for a client experiencing flashbacks from hallucinogenic intoxication include: 1. assisting the client with anxiety reduction. 2. exploring relapse triggers. 3. providing intrapersonal skills training. 4. teaching the client the medical consequences.
1. assisting the client with anxiety reduction.
Which would the nurse identify as a realistic short-term goal to be accomplished in 2-3 days for a client with substance induced delirium? The client A. Explains the experience of having the delirium. B. Regain a normal sleep-wake cycle. C. Becomes oriented to time place and person. D.Establishes normal bowel and bladder function
C. Becomes oriented to time place and person.
The nurse is preparing to teach a class to a group of new graduate nurses on substance use disorders. Which should the nurse include in the class? 1. A client with a substance dependence must take the same drug to relieve withdrawal symptoms 2. A substance abuse disorder is both a physical and psychological disorder. 3. A client who is motivated and has a substance dependence can overcome the addiction by stopping the substance. 4. A substance must be abused over a long period of time before an addiction develops.
Answer 2-A substance use disorder is both physical and psychological. A client with a substance dependence will take a similar substance to relieve withdrawal clinical manifestations. A client cannot overcome a substance use disorder simply by being motivated and stopping the substance. Management of substance use disorders must include professional intervention. Generally, the most effective treatments are in mental health clinics that can provide both physical and psychological assistance.
Which would the nurse eliminate from the diet of a client who abuses alcohol? A. Milk. B. Caffeine. C Orange Juice. D. Eggs.
B. Caffeine is another means of addiction for an addictive personality.

___ the three most common defense mechanisms used-their use must be confronted so accountability for the client's own behavior can be developed.
Denial, rationalization & projection
Stimulants: types and how the body is effected
Drugs (such as caffeine, nicotine, and the more powerful amphetamines, methamphetamines, cocaine, and Ecstasy) that excite neural activity and speed up body functions and excite the CNS.
Denial:
Escaping unpleasant realities by ignoring their existence. Example: "I'm sick of everyone thinking I drink too much. I can control my drinking whenever I want...and stop whenever I want."
What type of is effective as well as support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, etc.
Group therapy -Can relate to the experience; has lived the experience. More respected by the addict.
What medications can the nurse expect to administer to a patient in alcohol withdrawal?
Librium/Ativan/Haldol or other antianxiety agents or antipsychotic agents(antipsychotic agents help with agitation and psychosis) -Most commonly used medications along with Ativan and possibly an anti-psychotic for delusions, illusions, and or hallucinations.
examples of hallucinogens
Mescaline, LSD, PCP, psilocybin, ecstasy
Communicating -Substance-Abusing Client in Rehabilitation: Client: "I don't need to spend a lot of time talking to you about this stuff. I'm not going to take coke again, and you can bet on that."
Nurse: "I hear that you have no intentions of using cocaine again. I would like to help to make certain that you have the support available to you when you feel like you are could go back to drugs." Rationale: this interaction provides direction around the eventual difficulties that face everyone dependent on a substance-temptation and relapse.
Communicating with a Substance- client in Withdrawal: Client: "I feel so terrible. My muscles are twitching, I feel like "I'm going to throw up, I'm dizzy and weak, and my heart is pounding.
Nurse: "I'm going to take your vital signs now. We will take care of you're physical symptoms and take steps to ensure that you are more comfortable." Rationale: This interaction treats the event as an illness in which there are physical consequences to one's behavior. It also reassures the client that the staff has the client's safety and comfort needs in mind.

Opioid Analgesic: 50-100x more potent than morphine
What basic needs have priority when working with chemically dependent clients?
Physiological: Psychological needs are priority. (Maslow) -Alcohol & drug intake has superseded the intake of food for these clients.
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
a brain disorder due to thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency
A blackout
a phenomenon caused by the intake of alcohol in which long term memory creation is impaired. blackouts are classified by the inability to later recall any memories from the intoxicated period, even when prompted. These blackouts are characterized also by the ability to easily recall things that have occurred within the last 2 minutes, yet inability to recall anything prior to this period.
Delirium tremens (colloquially, the DTs, "the horrors", "the shakes" literally, "shaking delirium" or "trembling madness" in Latin)
an acute episode of delirium that is usually caused by withdrawal or abstinence, from alcohol following habitual excessive drinking Caused by alcohol, it only occurs in individuals with a history of constant, long-term alcohol consumption .
A nurse is monitoring a client for signs of delirium tremens (alcohol withdrawal delirium). Which assessment data is diagnostic of this condition? a. Slurred speech, lethargy, and confusion. b. Depression, hypotension, and nausea. c. Dizziness, vomiting, and unsteady gait. d. Tachycardia, hallucinations, and seizures.

often used interchangeably with the terms co-morbidity, co-occurring illnesses, concurrent disorders, comorbid disorders, co-occurring disorder, dual disorder, and, double trouble.
Methadone frequently used to treat addiction to
opioid's! It helps withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids!
Codependence (or codependency)
popular psychology concept popularized by Twelve-Step program advocates. A "codependent" is loosely defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for persons who depend on him or her. A "codependent" is one side of a relationship between mutually needy people. The dependent, or obviously needy party(s) may have emotional, physical, financial difficulties, or addictions they seemingly are unable to surmount. The "codependent" party exhibits behavior which controls, makes excuses for, pities, and takes other actions to perpetuate the obviously needy party's condition, because of their desire to be needed and fear of doing anything that would change the relationship.
Client teaching for Antabuse.
should include the effects of consuming any alcohol while on Antabuse. Encourage the client to read all labels of over-the-counter medications that may contain even small amounts of alcohol. Also, mouthwash, perfume, body wash, etc. -The patient will have a severe reaction: (flushing, nausea, vomiting, sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath etc).
Hallucinogens
substances that create distorted perceptions of reality, similar to psychoses ranging from mild to extreme including hallucinogens and depolarization
Alcohol: severe or untreated withdrawals
symptoms may progress to: -transient hallucinations -seizures -delirium (delirium tremens)
Benzodiazepines: overdose and treatment
when taken orally: -rarely fatal -lethargy -confused treatment: -gastric lavage and activated charcoal and saline cathartic -dialysis (when severe)
Projection
üA defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits." example: An aggressive man accuses other's of being aggressive.
DSM-IV/V Classes of Psychoactive Substances
•Alcohol •Caffeine •Cannabis •Hallucinogens •Inhalants •Opioids •Sedatives-hypnotics •Stimulants •Tobacco *Commonly tested on NCLEX
Etiology for addiction: Theoretical causes:
•Biologic •Neurochemical •Psychologic •Social & Environment
Diagnostic Work-Up for patients with addiction disorders
•Diagnosis of substance abuse/dependence is typically made by detailed subjective history. •Blood or urine screening for substance (s) and assessment skills.
Application of the Nursing Process for substance abuse and alcoholism
•History •General Appearance & Motor Behavior •Mood & Affect •Thought Process & Content •Sensorium & Intellectual Processes •Judgment & Insight •Self-Concept •Roles & Relationships •Physiologic Considerations
Definition of Disorder
•It is a maladaptive pattern of substance use. •Remissions and exacerbations. •The substance used poses a hazard to health. •Commonly known as addiction. •Tolerance to the substance is examined. •Withdrawal when the substance is eliminated or significantly reduced is common. •An altered physical or mental state due to use of the substance
Demographics for addiction
•Males are twice as likely to be affected than females. •The use of illegal drugs is most common in young adults (aged 10-80). •More than 100 million Americans, aged 10 years or older, report illicit drug use at least once in their lives. •Fifty to seventy-five percent of those with a mental health disorder struggle with substance addiction. •Approximately 1 in 10 Americans has an alcohol problem.
Initial Assessment for addiction patients
•Medical history & examination •Psychiatric history and examination •Family & social history •Detailed history of past and present substance use, tolerance, and withdrawal •How did the substance affect patient mentally and physically? •How does the substance use affecting patient's occupational, family, or social life? •Reliable and Valid Screening Tools (CIWA most popular-Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol)-in textbook
Medical/Legal Pitfalls
•Rates of suicide are three to four times more prevalent in people who abuse alcohol or drugs as compared to the general population. •Individuals withdrawing from substances are at great risk for depression. When not properly treated, depression can lead to suicide. •Individuals being treated for addiction may have a history of seeing multiple healthcare professionals obtain medications (doctor shopping). •Such practice may lead to accidental and/or intentional overdose.
Differential Diagnosis for addiction
•Rule out medical problems that may mimic signs & symptoms of substance intoxication and/or withdrawal: •Hypoglycemia •Electrolyte (sodium, potassium, chloride, & sodium bicarbonate) imbalance •Head injury/trauma •Stroke •Drug induced psychosis •Neurological (Traumatic Brain Injury)
Outcomes for alcoholism
•The client will: •Abstain from alcohol and drug use. •Will express feelings openly and directly. •Verbalize acceptance of responsibility for his/her own behavior. •Practice nonchemical alternatives to deal with stress or difficult situations. •Will establish an effective after-care plan.
Risk Factors for addiction
•Unemployment •Poor social coping skills •History of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse •Chaotic home environment •History of mental illness •Untreated physical pain •Family history of addiction •Peer pressure •Recent incarceration
