Answer to Question 1

A
Alcohol withdrawal usually begins 6 to 8 hours after cessation or marked reduction of alcohol
intake.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nature of the surgery, which involves an actual change in body structure, places the client at
greater risk for developing disturbed body image than any of the other diagnoses listed. The client's
statements about what he is expecting also suggest risk for this diagnosis.
