Answer to Question 1

B
Although all the options are expectations in the program, admitting to having alcoholism and staying alcohol-free are the aims of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program.

Answer to Question 2

C
Little research has been done to examine psychiatric nursing practice patterns, evaluate the nature of the data supporting them, and demonstrate sound clinical decision making in a way that can be empirically supported. Psychiatric nursing currently relies on opinion-based processes and unproved theories.
