Answer to Question 1

D
Seeing to it that the patient goes to the bathroom every 2 hours will minimize episodes of incontinence. Severe dementia might require adult diapers. Limiting fluids is never advised. Placing a sign on the bathroom door is effective only when the patient recognizes the need to void but is unable to find the bathroom.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Dependence is marked by multiple criteria defined in the DSM-V. A substance-specific syndrome due to recent ingestion of the substance refers to substance intoxication.
