A nurse is readmitting a client with a co-occurring diagnosis of schizophrenia and alcoholism who has relapsed. The client says, I'm just a failure, I'll never be anything but just a drunk.
 
  Which of the following responses would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
  A) Relapse is a normal part of recovery; you can learn from this experience so it will be easier to avoid it or a similar one in the future.
  B) You will always be an alcoholic, and relapse is inevitable because it is part of the illness.
  C) If you didn't have cognitive distortions secondary to your schizophrenia, you wouldn't be tempted to drink.
  D) When you say, 'just a drunk,' what do you mean, exactly?
