Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Standardized scales are useful for obtaining data about substance use disorders. The Addiction Severity Index (ASI), Brief Drug Abuse Screen Test (B-DAST), and Recovery Attitude and Treatment Evaluator (RAATE) are scales related to substance abuse. Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) assesses involuntary movements associated with antipsychotic medications. The Cognitive Capacity Screening Examination (CCSE) assesses cognitive function.

Answer to Question 2

C
Trust is frequently an issue because the child or adolescent may never have had a trusting relationship with an adult. In this patient's situation, the trust she once had in her parents has been shattered, robbing her of feelings of security. Only the key relates to the therapeutic alliance.
