Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recognizing triggers that may lead to illness helps the consumer manage the illness and promotes recovery. Examples of triggers are poor social skills, hopelessness, and poor symptom manage-ment. Relapse management does not include understanding the individual's personality, provid-ing crisis intervention, or using a holistic view of the system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
To be therapeutic, the nurse must develop a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship with clients. Therefore, nurses must examine their own attitudes ahead of time. Working with clients who have addiction problems does not put the nurse at risk for violence. People with drug and alcohol addiction can be found in any neighborhood. Nurses do not treat addiction problems.
