A client admitted to the nursing unit for treatment of his heart failure has a history of alcohol abuse. The nurse should:
 
  a. collaborate with the health care provider for a prescription for scheduled doses of chlordiazepoxide.
  b. closely monitor the client for delirium tremors common within the first 24 hours after hospital admission.
  c. be sure all side rails are in the up position and that the client is properly restrained.
  d. have members of the client's family take turns staying at the bedside, so the client is never left alone.
