During the first week of hospitalization, it is appropriate for the nurse to expect the client to identify triggers that lead to inappropriate behaviors. This is an important step in developing a relapse prevention plan and addressing the underlying issues contributing to the client's disorder. Verbalizing an understanding of the importance of follow-up care and attending aversion therapy groups may be appropriate goals for later in the treatment process, but it is unlikely that the client will be implementing several relapse-prevention strategies during the first week of hospitalization.
