Answer to Question 1

D
The client is asking for acknowledgment that he is not totally sick, that even in his terminal state he
has strengths and capabilities. Option D provides that acknowledgment. The other responses are
tangential.

Answer to Question 2

A
The client is drinking excessively and is at risk for developing alcoholism. The scenario does not
provide data to suggest that any of the other options is correct.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
