Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Clients with a dual diagnosis are difficult to assess because they are not a homogenous group. In addition, clients often are poor historians and noncompliant during the assessment process. They may present for assessment on a voluntary basis because they desire help, they may be adjudicated by the court system to be evaluated prior to sentencing for a crime, or they may be referred by another health care professional to rule out the presence of a comorbid psychiatric disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Evaluation of the client's progress is an ongoing process that can be challenging due to the potential for relapse or recidivism. Evaluation focuses on compliance by the client, the stated outcomes, the effectiveness of interventions, and the client's progress.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
