Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: A client who takes responsibility for the consequences of substance use disorder or substance addiction is making positive progress toward recovery. This would indicate completion of the first step of a 12-step program.

Answer to Question 2

D
The safety and security of the therapeutic environment are the most important factors in mental health care. Safety and security needs within the therapeutic environment include the feeling of physical safety, the security of a limited setting, and the ability to feel secure with others. For clients who are depressed or suicidal, the therapeutic environment offers special protection from self-harm with the client's best interest in mind.
