Answer to Question 1

Recurrent use-related legal problems is a sign of chemical abuse. The need for more of the drug to cause intoxication, withdrawal symptoms, and inability to stop using the drug are signs of chemical dependence.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
It is vital for a nurse to understand pathogenic microorganisms to prevent the spread of diseases they cause. Although it is important for the nurse to know the different organisms that cause different diseases, it will not enable the nurse to prevent the spread of diseases caused by them, which is a very important nursing responsibility. The nurse need not classify different microorganisms based on their characteristics or identify genus and species of different microorganisms to prevent the spread of diseases.
