RATIONALE: AA is an outpatient support group for recovering alcoholics. It allows clients to share their problems and gain support from members of the group to avoid further alcohol abuse. Strongly encourage participation in this support group. Provide the client with nutritional information and counseling, particularly if the client is underweight or malnourished. Establish an exercise program appropriate for the client's physical health. Discourage the client from reestablishing relationships with former "drinking friends," because this could lead to relapse.NURSING PROCESS STEP: PlanningCLIENT NEEDS CATEGORY: Safe, effective care environmentCLIENT NEEDS SUBCATEGORY: Management of careCOGNITIVE LEVEL: Analysis
