Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, is given to reverse respiratory depression, sedation, and hypertension. Naltrexone is used to treat alcohol dependence. Bupropion and varenicline are used to promote smoking cessation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The acronym FRAMES summarizes elements of brief interventions with clients using motivational interviewing. The nurse should emphasize both the client's freedom to choose to change as well as the client's responsibility to change. Telling the client to stop drinking and driving is confrontational and not therapeutic in this situation; telling the client to think about what she is doing to her marriage is inappropriate because the client has yet to acknowledge that she has a problem. Telling the client that she is not an alcoholic only reinforces the client's denial.
