Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The initial outcome for clients in substance abuse programs is to overcome denial. Clients will be unable to participate fully in a recovery program until they can admit that they have a substance abuse problem, admit the extent of that problem, and acknowledge how it has impacted their life. Learning problem-solving is a later outcome for a substance abuse program. Making a moral inventory and making amends are the fourth and eighth steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and would not be initial outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Clients are more likely to be able to strive for and achieve treatment goals with an acknowledgement of their strengths and their needs. The client will grow dependent on the nurse who takes care of all the client's needs and this will not help to meet the goals of rehabilitation. The client stating he/she wants to go home or wanting the family involved in recovery are not proven methods for client's meeting their rehabilitative goals.
