An Older Patient Reports Drinking a Six-Pack of Beer Daily

An older patient reports drinking a six-pack of beer daily. The patient tells the community health nurse, "I've been having trouble with my arthritis lately, so I take acetaminophen four times a day for pain." What are the nurse's priority interventions? (Select all that apply.)

A) Inquiring about sleep disturbances caused by mixing alcohol and analgesic medications.
B) Determining the safety of the daily acetaminophen dose the patient is ingesting.
C) Advising the patient of harmful effects of alcohol and acetaminophen on the liver.
D) Suggesting an increase in the acetaminophen dose because alcohol produces faster excretion.
E) Assessing the patient for declining functional status associated with medication-induced dementia.
