Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Remotivation therapy is designed to resocialize patients who are regressed and apathetic by focusing on a single topic, creating a bridge to reality as group members talk about the world in which they live and work, and hobbies related to the topic. Group leaders give group members acceptance and appreciation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Alcohol dependence can develop at any age, and the geriatric population is particularly at risk. The geriatric problem drinker is defined as someone who has no history of alcohol-related problems but develops an alcohol-abuse pattern in response to the stresses of aging.
