Step by Step Written Solution
In this problem, we need to identify which of the provided options is a question included in the CAGE questionnaire used for screening alcohol use disorder.
Nursing Assessment: CAGE Questionnaire
CAGE is an acronym that stands for the four key categories of questioning in this screening tool. Let's break down each letter to find the matching answer.
C: Cut down
Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
A: Annoyed
Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
G: Guilty
Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?
E: Eye-opener
Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover?
Now, let's look at our options. The first option, regarding family history, is part of a general assessment but is not in the categorical C-A-G-E tool.
The second option asks if you have ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking. This matches our 'G' for Guilty perfectly.
