Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Clients with a dual diagnosis are difficult to assess because they are not a homogenous group. In addition, clients often are poor historians and noncompliant during the assessment process. They may present for assessment on a voluntary basis because they desire help, they may be adjudicated by the court system to be evaluated prior to sentencing for a crime, or they may be referred by another health care professional to rule out the presence of a comorbid psychiatric disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Evaluation of the client's progress is an ongoing process that can be challenging due to the potential for relapse or recidivism. Evaluation focuses on compliance by the client, the stated outcomes, the effectiveness of interventions, and the client's progress.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
