Answer to Question 1

D
Often the addicted individual has been enabled when others picked up the pieces for him or her. The individual never faced the consequences of his or her own behaviors. Learning to face those consequences is part of the recovery process. The other options are co-dependent behaviors or are of no help.

Answer to Question 2

A
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine, which has a high probability of causing dependence if taken long term. The nurse should teach nonpharmacologic strategies for managing anxiety to facilitate the patient's readiness to discontinue the lorazepam. Tardive dyskinesia is associated with antipsychotic drugs. Weight gain is associated with atypical antipsychotic drugs. Hepatotoxicity is not a likely complication.
