Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Encouraging an in-depth exploration of the client's feelings and thoughts can contribute to increased insight. Moving too quickly and incompletely through an exploration of feelings may explain the client's inability to maintain new behaviors. Encouraging the client to express responses to criticism freely is inappropriate because of the risk of harm to self or others. Insisting the client take a time-out, or offering the client a PRN medication for agitation, may be appropriate for immediate action, but would not be necessary during the next one-to-one therapeutic session.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Naltrexone blocks the craving for alcohol and the pleasure derived from drinking. If alcohol is ingested while taking the medication disulfiram (Antabuse), a potentially lethal reaction can occur. Since naltrexone will not react with alcohol, it is not necessary to limit use of over-the-counter products that contain alcohol. Pharmacological treatment of substance abuse should be utilized in conjunction with a treatment program.
