Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Despite the client's good intentions not to share needles, he will not care who uses his needle once the heroin takes effect. The other options are unrealistically optimistic. High-risk behaviors are difficult to change. They are hard to discuss and harder still to achieve when they are drug-related, since substance use alters judgment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
This response reflects the client's satisfaction with his knowledge of the disease and his ability to make informed decisions. Option 1 has a sense of powerlessness. Option 3 shows resignation to impending death. Option 4 reflects a poor quality of life.
