Becky is a 45-year-old female who is being discharged from the hospital for alcohol withdrawal. She will be going to an inpatient treatment center after discharge.

 She is currently unemployed and living in a women’s shelter. This will be her third time in this inpatient treatment facility. She is divorced and her ex-husband has custody of their 10-year-old daughter. What education or plan does Becky need from you, as an APRN, to successfully quit using alcohol?.
POST: Based on your choice(s), design a behavioral plan you would use as an APRN (PMHNP) to encourage the patient presented in the scenario to change her behavior to achieve more positive health outcomes. Share a model (developed by the theorist or one found in literature) of the behavioral theory you will use to develop your plan. Be sure to detail which aspects of the model or models you chose to inform specific parts of your plan. Choose a behavioral theory and share a diagram of the theory (developed by the theorist or found in literature) that you will use to develop your treatment plan.
