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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
