Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has a serious mental illness (smi) and is recovering from substance use disorder. the client has been taught that abstinence and looking at recovery as an ongoing process is the most effective way to view recovery. the nurse should identify this model as which of the following? harm reduction model social ecological (se) model rehabilitation model trauma - informed care model

Explanation:

The rehabilitation model emphasizes abstinence and views recovery as an ongoing process. The harm reduction model focuses on minimizing negative consequences rather than complete abstinence. The social ecological model considers multiple levels of influence (individual, community, etc.). The trauma - informed care model centers on understanding and responding to trauma. Since the description in the question aligns with the key tenets of the rehabilitation model (abstinence and ongoing recovery process), the answer is the rehabilitation model.

Answer:

C. Rehabilitation model
