A nurse is talking with a client 57 years of age who has been a heavy drinker for many years. The client is being treated for alcoholism, and this is her second week as an inpatient on the psychiatric unit.

It is 5 a.m. and the client has been having difficulty sleeping. The client is an orthopedic nurse, and although she is clothed in a hospital-issued gown and robe, she is wearing a stethoscope around her neck that the nurse recognizes as belonging to one of the staff nurses. When the nurse asks her why she is wearing the stethoscope and where she got it, the client gives her a long and involved reply that describes how her nursing supervisor came to visit and gave it to her to wear so she'd remember to get well. The nurse suspects that the client may be experiencing which of the following?

A) Wernicke's syndrome
B) Delirium tremens
C) Korsakoff's amnesic syndrome
D) Malignant hyperthermia
