Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Rationale: These characteristics commonly coexist with substance dependence and abuse. Other
characteristics include low tolerance for frustration and pain and immature, troubled interpersonal
relationships.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This response will allow the nurse to validate the possibility that the client is dissatisfied with being
unable to control his symptom and suggests openness to listening to feelings of powerlessness. The
nurse should neither agree nor disagree with the client. Clarifying his own thinking is more
important for the client.
