Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Setting is the influence of the physical, social, and cultural environmental within which the use occurs. All of these environments influence the use of drugs. A back alley, an area at the local high school, and individuals using the drug do not address all of the aspects of setting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse collects a urine specimen with the rationale that urinalysis for drug testing can be used to determine whether a certain drug has been used in the recent past. Urine testing indicates only past use of certain drugs, not intoxication. The extent of performance impairment cannot be de-termined with urine testing. Alcohol is not always included in a urine drug screen.
