Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Appropriate assessment questions should be open-ended and allow the client to elaborate on the answers. Tell me about any attempts you've made to quit using nicotine is the only open-ended phrase that is effective in assessing this client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) does not address addictive behavior. NRT helps to relieve some physiological, not psychological, effects of nicotine withdrawal. Over-the-counter (OTC) NRTs include transdermal patches and gums. Nicotine inhalers and nasal sprays are available by prescription only. Combining the use of NRT and a smoking cessation program is more effective than the use of NRT alone.
