Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Leukotriene antagonists or modifiers are the classification of medications that are effective in treating these inflammatory respiratory complications and are commonly used for clients with asthma.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) emphasizes the here and now and assists the individual to take charge of his or her own life. The ultimate goal is what Linehan calls the wise mind, a midway point between being totally rational and totally emotional. Rational emotive therapy (RET) is built on the premise that an individual's values and beliefs control behavior. Health realization (HR) is a psychological/spiritual model of therapy. HR is based on the theory that each person possesses inborn or innate (inner) health and has the capacity or ability to lead a healthy life. Family counseling states that treating the substance abuser alone is not sufficient; the family also needs intensive counseling.
