Answer to Question 1

4
Benzodiazepines are specific for anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

C
This client is using drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms. It is unlikely that the client is choosing these actions as a health-seeking mechanism. The client is not ready to work on family processes, and there is not enough evidence to suggest hopelessness.
