Answer to Question 1

C, D
Rationale: Option C suggests the individual will find meaning in the process of dying as he or she
has found growth potential in all life's events. This equates to the motif identified as quest. Option
D identifies an activity that connects the client to his or her beliefs and is helpful in calming
anxieties. The other options are not as directly related to spiritual aspects.

Answer to Question 2

C
Learning when the client had the last drink is essential to knowing when to begin to observe for
symptoms of withdrawal. The other questions are relevant but of lower priority.
