Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Options 1 and 2 are not therapeutic. Arranging for a sponsor may be helpful at some point (op-tion 4); however, teaching about flashbacks is a more important intervention for safety reasons (option 3).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Benzodiazepines like Librium have a cross tolerance with alcohol so they can be used to manage withdrawal symptoms (option 4). Cogentin (option 1), Thorazine (option 2), and ReVia (option 4) are not benzodiazepines.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
