Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Native American culture stresses living in harmony with nature. Cooperative, sharing styles rather
than competitive or intrusive approaches are preferred; thus the more passive style described in
option 4 would be best received. The other options would be more effective to use with clients with
a Western orientation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Fixation at the oral stage sometimes produces dependent infantile behaviors in adults. Option A:
Latency fixations often result in difficulty identifying with others and developing social skills,
resulting in a sense of inadequacy and inferiority. Option B: Phallic fixations result in having
difficulty with authority figures and poor sexual identity. Option C: Anal fixation sometimes results
in retentiveness, rigidity, messiness, destructiveness, and cruelty.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

In most climates, 8 to 10 glasses of water per day is recommended for adults. The best indicator for adequate fluid intake is frequent, clear urination.

Signs of depression include feeling sad most of the time for 2 weeks or longer; loss of interest in things normally enjoyed; lack of energy; sleep and appetite disturbances; weight changes; feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, or worthlessness; an inability to make decisions; and thoughts of death and suicide.

Did you know?

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
