A client approaches the medication nurse and states, “I can't believe you are NOT helping me with my cravings for my fentanyl patches! When I got off alcohol 2 years ago, they gave me naltrexone for my cravings, and it really helped. I can't stand the cravings and back pain anymore, and I'm getting angry.” Which of the following responses by the nurse would be helpful for this client? Select all that apply.
1. “Naltrexone does help decrease the cravings for alcohol.”
2. “Naltrexone can interfere with opiate cravings in some clients.”
3. “Cravings are hard to deal with, especially when you are in pain too.”
4. “I hear your frustration about how your detoxification is going.”
5. “I am positive naltrexone can help with your cravings for fentanyl.” “I can ask your physician if he thinks naltrexone might help you.”
