Answer to Question 1

C
As uncomfortable as the client may be, she should not bathe until the physician's examination is
completed. The collection of evidence is critical if she is to be successful in court. Options A and B
will result in destruction of evidence. Option D is not true.

Answer to Question 2

B
During recovery, clients identify and use alternative coping mechanisms to reduce reliance on
alcohol. Physical adaptations must occur. Emotional responses, formerly dulled by alcohol, are now
fully experienced and may cause considerable anxiety. These changes inevitably have an effect on
the spouse and children, who should be given anticipatory guidance. Option A does not provide
anticipatory guidance. Option C provides inaccurate information. Option D provides inappropriate
instruction.
