Alcoholism nursing: toward a policy perspective.
Nurses remain relatively uninvolved with the number-one health problem of alcoholism due to ambivalence and/or ignorance. Efforts to change this dilemma have been primarily in the form of passive recommendations. A more direct and powerful action of mandating alcoholism education is suggested. This recommendation successfully meets the major criteria of policy.
