Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a self-help group whose key concept is that total abstinence is essential to recovery. AA is based on the fellowship among its members, and anyone who desires to stop using alcohol is welcome. The other answer choices do not correctly describe AA.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: The primary purpose of collaboration with the patient to establish and redefine mutual goals of treatment is to encourage patient responsibility. While this action may help to develop the nurse-patient relationship, this is not its primary purpose. The primary purpose of collaboration is not to allow the nurse to self-reflect, nor is it to provide evaluation of outcomes.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
