Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Group participation and confrontation are not appropriate during withdrawal delirium, so options 1 and 2 are incorrect. Use of restraints is not safe at this time (option 3), and the quiet environ-ment (option 4) is best.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
During detoxification, which can be life-threatening, the most important thing is normal vital signs (option 1). The other activities can take place after detoxification.
