Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E

Used with care and a calm attitude, confrontation interferes with the client's ability to use denial or rationalization. Losing privileges is a consequence of violating the behavior contract. Participation in AA will provide peer feedback. Withholding food is inappropriate, particularly for a client with potential nutritional deficits.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

An alcoholic client with anorexia is at risk for Imbalanced Nutrition, Less Than Body Requirements. Ineffective Coping is a potential diagnosis used in substance abuse. Disturbed Thought Processes and Disturbed Sensory Perceptions are diagnoses used for delusions, hallucinations, and illusions that may occur during delirium tremens.
