Addiction & Substance Use Disorder Jessica Grinnell, MSN, RN, CEN [email protected]  Learning Outcomes 1. Compare and contrast the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and medical/nursing management of the client experiencing addiction and substance use disorder. 2. Examine risk factors associated with disorders of behavior (specifically above disorders) across the lifespan and the nursing care directed at reducing these risks. 3. Compare and contrast various diagnostics, medications, treatments and procedures, and the holistic assessment skills used to manage disorders involving behavior. 4. Apply the nursing process as a framework to provide age-appropriate, culturally sensitive care of the client experiencing disorders of behavior. 5.

If behaviors are viewed by the nurse as morally wrong, it may be difficult to suppress judgmental feelings. Nurses must begin relationship development with a substance abuser by examining own attitudes and personal experiences with substances. Nursing Process: Outcome Criteria The Client: Has not experienced physical injury Has not caused harm to self or others Accepts responsibility for own behavior Acknowledges association between personal problems and use of substance(s) Demonstrates more adaptive coping mechanisms that can be used in stressful situations (instead of taking substances) Shows no signs or symptoms of infection or malnutrition Exhibits evidence of increased self-worth by attempting new projects without fear of failure and by demonstrating less defensive behavior toward others Verbalizes importance of abstaining from use of substances in order to maintain optimal wellness Nursing Process: Planning/Implementation Risk for injury Denial Ineffective coping Dysfunctional family processes  Nursing Process: Evaluation Has detoxification occurred without complications? Is the client still in denial? Does the client accept responsibility for their own behavior? Have they acknowledged a personal problem with substances? Has a correlation been made between personal problems & the use of substances? Has the client remained substance-free during treatment? Does the client cooperate with treatment? Does the client refrain from manipulative behavior and violation of limits? Is the client able to verbalize motivation toward alternative adaptive coping strategies to substitute for substance use? Has the use of the strategies been demonstrated? Does positive reinforcement encourage repetition of these adaptive behaviors? Has nutritional status been restored? Does the client consume diet adequate for their size & level of activity? Is the client able to discuss the importance of adequate nutrition? Has the client remained free of infection during hospitalization? Is the client able to verbalize the effects of substance abuse on the body?  The Chemically Impaired Nurse Approximately 10 percent of nurses Alcohol is the most suffer from widely abused chemical addiction drug, followed (same as the closely by general narcotics. population).  The Chemically Impaired Nurse: Recognition Clues for recognizing substance impairment in nurses Attendance at work Medication administration Employee characteristics Interpersonal relationships Personality traits Physical appearance Patient pain is not controlled  The Chemically Impaired Nurse: Repercussions State board response May deny, suspend, or revoke a license based on a report of chemical abuse by a nurse Diversionary laws allow impaired nurses to avoid disciplinary action by agreeing to seek treatment The Chemically Impaired Nurse: Suspension Period Successful completion of an inpatient, outpatient, group, or individual counseling treatment program Evidence of regular attendance at nurse support groups or 12- step program Random negative drug screens Employment or volunteer activities The Chemically Impaired Nurse: Peer Assistance Programs Regain Obtain Recognize their accountability necessary impairment within treatment profession  Codependency Dysfunctional Sacrifice their Boundaries relationships own needs blurred Feels Derives self- Commonly responsible for worth from denies that the happiness others problems exist of others  Codependency Releases anxiety in the form of stress-related illnesses, or compulsive behaviors, such as eating, spending, working, or use of substances May have experienced abuse or emotional neglect as a child Outwardly focused on others and know very little about how to direct their lives from their own sense of self  The Codependent Nurse: Classic Characteristics Poor Caretaking Perfectionism Denial communication Self-worth High risk for Need to be in comes from physical and control being needed emotional by others burnout  Treating Codependency: 4 Stages of Recovery Survival Stage Re-identification Stage Core issues Stage Reintegration Stage  Treatment Modalities: Alcoholics Anonymous A major self-help organization for the treatment of alcoholism Based on the concepts of: Peer support Acceptance Understanding from others who have experienced the same problem 12-step program provides specific guidelines on how to attain & maintain sobriety Sees total abstinence as the only cure The person can never safely return to social drinking.  Treatment Modalities for Substance-Related Disorders Support Groups Various groups structured like AA, but Counseling Group Therapy for other substances (ex: Narcotics Anonymous) Alcohol Use Disorder Standard Drink  Alcohol Intoxication Sedative & CNS depressant High doses can cause respiratory depression & death Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) Intoxication BAL is 0.10% to 0.20% Drunk driving limit is 0.08%  Alcohol Use Disorder: Patterns of Use 1 2 3 4 Phase I: Phase II: Phase III: Phase IV: Pre-alcoholic Early The Crucial The Chronic phase alcoholic phase phase phase  Effects of Alcohol on the Body Wernicke’s Peripheral Alcoholic Korsakoff’s encephalopat neuropathy myopathy psychosis hy Alcoholic cardiomyopat Esophagitis Gastritis hy Effects of Alcohol on the Body Pancreatitis Alcoholic Hepatitis Acute Caused by long-term heavy alcohol Usually occurs 1-2 days after a use binge Manifestations: Chronic Enlarged, tender liver Leads to pancreatic insufficiency N/V Lethargy Anorexia Elevated WBC count Fever Jaundice Ascites & Weight loss (severe cases)  Cirrhosis of the liver End-stage alcoholic liver disease Caused by chronic heavy Effects of alcohol use Widespread destruction of liver Alcohol on the cells that are replaced by fibrous (scar) tissue.

General cellular stimulants (caffeine and nicotine) exert their action directly on cellular activity. Examples: Amphetamines Synthetic stimulants Non-amphetamine stimulants Cocaine  Stimulant Use Disorder Patterns of use CNS stimulant use is usually characterized by either episodic or chronic daily or near-daily use.

Caffeine intoxication usually occurs following consumption in excess of 250 mg. Restlessness and insomnia are the most common symptoms.  Stimulant Withdrawal Amphetamine and cocaine withdrawal may result in dysphoria, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and increased appetite. Withdrawal from caffeine may include headache, fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, muscle pain and stiffness, and nausea and vomiting.
