Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 6
The medical team's mission is to relieve suffering and cure disease. This involved the three levels of care: 1) sustain life, 2) regain health, and 3) maintain health. Once the shift toward health care occurred, the fourth level of attaining enhanced health was added. Minimize injury and maximize cost is not a level of care.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4, 5, 6
Clues of possible chemical dependency include tardiness, late sick calls, frequent or prolonged work breaks, inability to recall recent events, heavy use of fragrances, clinical care omissions or errors, patient complaints or requests for a change in care provider, mood instability, and extraordinary accomplishments. Mood stability is not a characteristic of a colleague who is experiencing chemical dependency.
