Settling a debate- is it unethical to tell your confused, alcohol detox patient (who is violent and threatening staff over liquor) that the mix of apple juice and ginger ale you are handing them is angry orchard?

It's the lightest shade of grey area, in my opinion. Sure, it's dishonest, but the risk of insisting on honesty here is that you put staff in danger, and that's not as acceptable as this lie imo. I understand why you're asking, though.

I wouldn’t have a problem doing this. It’s not alcohol. You’re not breaking any laws or rules.

I probably wouldn’t have said what the drink was in any way. I would have just set the drink down and said something vague like “here ya go… I think you’ll really like it! Let me know what you think”. I just wouldn’t say what it is or isn’t lol

No, you shouldn't lie to your patient.

I don't think its unethical. Do what you need to do.

I think it’s a wonderful idea. Especially since it helped him be calm and that’s the ultimate goal for him to be comfortable and safe🥰
