Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Naltrexone's effect is unknown. Reports from successfully treated clients suggest three kinds of effects: (1) can reduce craving (the urge or desire to drink), (2) can help maintain abstinence, and (3) can interfere with the tendency to want to drink more if a recovering client slips and has a drink.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Long-term inhalant use is linked to widespread brain damage and cognitive abnormalities that can range from mild impairment to severe dementia. Tremors, central nervous system arousal, and cardiac changes are not associated with long-term inhalant use. Intoxication can lead to cardiac arrest.
