  d. poor insight.

Question 2

  treatment and decide whether I will be able to work daily..

Answer to Question 1

D
The client's noncompliance is most closely related to lack of insight into his illness. The client
believes he is an exalted personage who hears God's voice, rather than an individual with a serious
mental disorder who needs medication to control his symptoms. Data do not suggest any of the other
factors often related to medication nonadherence.

Answer to Question 2

D
Blaming someone else is not usually considered a highly adaptive coping strategy. Options A
(redefinition), B (conforming), and C (confronting) are seen as more effective.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
