Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Health care professionals also can contribute to the initiation and continuation of substance abuse and dependency in various ways, becoming professional enablers. One obvious way is the physician's role in prescribing psychoactive medications. The medical model advocates the treatment of symptoms by medication. The relief of pain, anxiety, and insomnia is not an exception. The addictive potential of narcotic analgesics and antianxiety agents is often ignored if quick symptom relief is the main goal. Long-term goals for the treatment of medical problems and nonmedication management of pain and anxiety are more thoughtful approaches.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Warning signs of stress include angry or hostile feelings, inability to concentrate, increased boredom, frequent headaches or other ailments, and inconsistent school attendance.
