Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Brief intervention involves a negotiated conversation between the nurse and the client that is designed to reduce the substance use. Asking the client questions about substance use refers to screening. Pointing out inconsistencies reflects confrontation. Helping the client change his or her way of thinking reflects a cognitive approach.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
With moderate opioid withdrawal, pupils are dilated. Rhinorrhea, lacrimation, and dysphoria are noted with mild withdrawal.
