A client calls the mental health clinic and asks to speak with the nurse. The client explains that he or she has recently been diagnosed with a substance problem and the way it was explained is that it has dependence.
 
  The client asks if the nurse can explain what that means. What should be the nurse's response?
  A) Substance dependence means physiologic and psychologic dependence on alcohol or other drugs that affect the central nervous system in such a way that withdrawal symptoms are experienced when the substance is discontinued.
  B) I am sorry, I can't give you any information. You will have to ask your physician.
  C) Substance dependence means the person has a maladaptive pattern of use that shows physiologic, cognitive, and behavioral indications that the person continues to use the substance despite the resulting negative effects.
  D) Substance dependence means that you depend on alcohol or drug use to get through your normal daily activities.
