Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. Euphoria is an exaggerated feeling of well-being.
2. Withdrawal is a set of physical symptoms the client experiences when stopping the drug or alcohol ingestion.
3. A client in denial is likely to tell the nurse that the client can stop taking the substance at any time.
4. Tolerance develops mainly with alcohol ingestion. The body becomes used to the alcohol, and the client has to drink more to get the desired effects.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. The disorders impair day-to-day functioning.
2. Personality disorders begin in adolescence or young adulthood.
3. Some behaviors, such as dependency, might be normal within a culture; behaviors seen with personality disorders deviate markedly from one's cultural norms.
4. Personality disorders are characterized by inflexible and inappropriate behaviors and occasionally psychotic behavior.
