Answer to Question 1

C
Secondary traumatization occurs as a result of listening to and empathizing with other people's traumas. Synonyms include compassion fatigue and helper stress. The individual becomes less able to help others. Clinical supervision is indicated.

Answer to Question 2

C
Benzodiazepines taken with alcohol produce marked central nervous system (CNS) depression, even death. Antacids prevent absorption. Larger doses of benzodiazepines by themselves are rarely lethal. Depression in and of itself is not an indicator of overdose risk. Suicidal ideation might be present, but benzodiazepines by themselves are rarely lethal.
