Answer to Question 1

A
Alcohol is the most frequently abused drug among adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

B
Scheduling clinic appointments at shorter intervals will give an opportunity for more frequent assessment of symptoms and allow the nurse to use early intervention. If the patient does not have a crisis, referral to crisis intervention would be useless. The other distracters may or may not produce reliable information, may violate the patient's privacy, and/or waste scarce resources.
