Answer to Question 1

B
The simplest level of the client system is the individual. The focus of care is illness prevention, directed at disease or disability prevention.

Answer to Question 2

D
During an assessment, all relevant drug-use history is collected and aids in the assessment of drug-use patterns. The nurse should note any changes in drug-use patterns over time. Thus, the most appropriate question is the nurse asking how often a client uses drugs.
