Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The SAMHSA lists the following as guiding principles for the recovery model: recovery emerges from hope; recovery is person-driven; recovery occurs via many pathways; recovery is holistic; recovery is supported by peers and allies; recovery is supported through relationship and social networks; recovery is culturally based and influenced; recovery is supported by addressing trauma; recovery involves individual, family, and community strengths and responsibility; and recovery is based on respect. This nurse accepts and appreciates clients who are affected by mental health and substance use problems. This nurse protects the rights of clients and does not discriminate against them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A client who is experiencing cognitive deficits cannot give informed consent, which is required prior to ECT. A court proceeding could determine the client's level of competency and, if necessary, the judge would appoint a guardian.
