A client has been taking 30 mg of duloxetine hydrochloride (Cymbalta) twice daily for 2 months because of depression and vague aches and pains. While interacting with the nurse, the client discloses a pattern of drinking a sixpack of beer daily for the past 10 years to help with sleep. What should the nurse do first?
1. Refer the client to the dual diagnosis program at the clinic.
2. Share the information at the next interdisciplinary treatment conference.
3. Report the client's beer consumption to the primary health care provider.
4. Teach the client relaxation exercises to perform before bedtime.
