A)Appropriate outcomes for a client who is being discharged from alcohol detoxification are to obtain at least 6-8 hours of sleep per night and to enroll in an Employee Assistance Program if one is offered through the client's employer. The client's calorie requirement should be individualized and may not be 2000 calories. New or returning AA members should be sponsored; they are not ready to sponsor another person. The client should accept responsibility for his or her behavior in the family unit instead of assigning blame for codependent behavior.
