Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Clients with substance dependency often use the substance to help them cope with problems. Helping the client identify other acceptable means of solving problems is an important long-term goal for this client.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Age is a non-modifiable factor; blood pressure increases with age from the newborn to the peak at the onset of puberty. In older people, the elasticity of the arteries is decreased, which yields elevated systolic and diastolic pressures.
