Answer to Question 1

C
Enabling denies the seriousness of the patient's problem or supports the patient as he or she shifts responsibility from self to circumstances. The other options are therapeutic and appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse intent on diverting drugs for personal use usually attempts to isolate self from peers and may manipulate others to gain access to medications. Appearance often deteriorates, and errors are blamed on others.
