Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
In the health care field, the most frequent areas for the occurrence of violence are the emergency departments, psychiatric units, geriatric units, and waiting rooms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E, F
Criteria for substance abuse are a maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested in failure to fulfill major role obligations (the student who had too much to drink last night and is unable to attend class); substance-related absences; substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (e.g., driving an automobile when impaired); substance-related legal problems (e.g., arrests for substance-related disorderly conduct - driver being pulled over for driving under the influence); and substance use despite social problems caused by the effects of the substance (people moving away from the student who reeks of tobacco smoke, the student who declines an invitation, as all the other person does was want to go to the bars and drink). The student who is asking for an extension and explaining her absence because of a family emergency is not suggestive of a student engaging in substance abuse.
