Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse working with substance abuse will benefit from self-awareness and an understanding of the feelings that working with substance abusers can evoke. The nurse who feels angry and punitive with clients who abuse drugs, or who over identifies with these clients and finds adventure in the client's drug stories, will not be able to establish a therapeutic relationship with this client population. The other answer choices may be considerations, but do not take priority over self-awareness.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The client reports being uncomfortable with his assigned gender as a male, he has gender dysphoria. Androgyny is flexibility in gender roles. Although he has dressed in women's clothing, cross-dressing does not address being uncomfortable as a male. The client does not discuss fetishism, which is sexualization of a body part or object.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
