Answer to Question 1

A
The client's blood alcohol level indicates she is intoxicated. Because her behavior and the blood
alcohol level correspond, one can assume the client does not have a high tolerance to alcohol. Option
B is not a conclusion that can be drawn. Option C is not a true statement. The blood alcohol level for
coma and death is 0.40 to 0.50 mg. Option D is incorrect. A conclusion can be drawn.

Answer to Question 2

D
In the mature stage members actively participate to help each individual to accomplish goals. Option
A, an issue of confidentiality, would be heard during the initial stage. Option B, an issue of power,
would be heard during the working stage. Option C is an issue of norming and would be seen in the
initial stage.
