Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3

Answer to Question 2

1. B-DAST

Rationale:
The B-DAST (Brief Drug Abuse Screening Test) is used to assess for addiction to substances other than alcohol. The CAGE questionnaire, MAST (Michigan Alcohol Screening Test), and CIWA-ar (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol Revised) are all used to assess for alcohol-related problems.
