Answer to Question 1

C
Thiamine must be given when hydrating clients diagnosed with alcoholism, to prevent neurological damage. Alcoholics are hypoglycemic. As hydration increases the metabolization of glucose, the client has an increased requirement for thiamine due to using up existing stores of it in the body.

Answer to Question 2

A
A situational crisis occurs when an accidental, uncommon, or unexpected event upsets psychological equilibrium.
