Answer to Question 1

D
Naltrexone (ReVia) is useful for treating both opioid and alcohol addiction. An opioid antagonist blocks the action of opioids and the mechanism of reinforcement. It also reduces or eliminates alcohol craving.

Answer to Question 2

C
Why questions often imply criticism or seem intrusive or judgmental. They are difficult to answer; thus they are barriers to communication. The other options are therapeutic in nature.
