Answer to Question 1

C
Because ibuprofen is not a chemical that causes physical dependency, this client is experiencing psychological tolerance. Physical tolerance occurs when an individual's body has adjusted to living and functioning with the substance in the system; substance dependency refers to the need to take a substance to prevent withdrawal symptoms; and early stage addiction is characterized by an individual who is enjoying the effects of the substance.

Answer to Question 2

B
Assessment is the phase of the nursing process during which data collection occurs. It is performed not only upon admission into a facility but throughout the care of the client. Evaluation is the phase during which goals are evaluated to determine whether they have been met, partially met, or not met at all; intervention is the phase of the nursing process when planned interventions are actually implemented; planning is the phase of the nursing process when client goals are set and interventions are planned.
