Answer to Question 1

2
The signs and symptoms of illness are the client's way of coping with emotional distress.

Answer to Question 2

B
During recovery, patients identify and use alternative coping mechanisms to reduce reliance on alcohol. Physical adaptations must occur. Emotional responses, formerly dulled by alcohol, are now fully experienced and may cause considerable anxiety. These changes inevitably have an effect on the spouse and children, who should be given anticipatory guidance and accurate information.
