Answer to Question 1

C, D, E, F
The most important intervention for clients with substance-related problems is to act as a therapeutic agent. Other interventions are designed to meet physical needs, especially during detoxification; monitor effects of therapies; teach about the disease and its progression; help clients problem solve; and encourage the client's family and significant others to become involved. Focusing on the client's weaknesses does not give them a sense of hope.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients whose personality style causes them to externalize blame see the source of their discomfort and anxiety as being outside themselvesin others or in the environment. In this case, the patient displaces anger about his illness and resulting discomfort, and his distress is blamed on the nurses. This dynamic is supported by the patient's history. The other options are not supported or are less likely to have a bearing on his behavior.
