A
The criteria that are used to make a nursing diagnosis of substance abuse include the following:
•   The client loses control of the drug.
•   The client takes the drug even though the drug has caused adverse conditions in his or her body.
•   The client demonstrates cognitive, behavioral, and physical disturbances.
•   Many drugs, including substances that have potential for abuse, can be taken or used on a daily basis for years without causing problems or being considered abused.
