Answer to Question 1

B
When staff members are at their wits' end, the patient has succeeded in keeping the environment unsettled and avoided outside controls on behavior. Staff meetings can help minimize staff splitting and feelings of anger, helplessness, confusion, and frustration.

Answer to Question 2

D
Crack is processed cocaine that is extremely addicting because of the immediate high. Cocaine is a natural stimulant. Heroin is an opioid, which is a central nervous system depressant.
