Mr. Anderson, a 76-year-old widower, presents for a follow-up visit 8 months after his wife's death. He lives alone, appears disheveled, and has unintentionally lost 10 pounds. He reports poor sleep and increasing reliance on wine to "take the edge off." His daughter reports he is more forgetful and has had two recent falls. He admits to drinking 3-4 glasses of wine per night, often more, and says it helps him feel less alone. The nurse administers the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and records a score of 18, with positive responses for: •Drinking 4+ times/week Consuming 3-4 drinks/day • Inability to stop drinking once started • Guilt/remorse after drinking • Alcohol-related injury Which nursing action is most appropriate in response to these findings?
