Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martina should make the appropriate referral to a specialist who can address the patient's alcohol use. It is important for the patient's safety and well-being to receive appropriate care and support for their alcohol use disorder. Martina should also encourage the patient to discuss their alcohol use with their physician and schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor their progress. Contacting the family without the patient's consent would violate their privacy and autonomy. Doing nothing could put the patient at risk of harmful interactions between the medication and alcohol.
