Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Between the ages of 23 and 28, the person refines self-perception and ability for intimacy. From 29 to 34, the person directs enormous energy toward achievement and mastery of the surrounding world. The years from 35 to 43 are a time of vigorous examination of life goals and relationships. Often the stresses of this re-examination result in a midlife crisis. Each person holds culture-bound definitions of health and illness. Knowing too little about the patient's self-perception or beliefs regarding health and illness creates conflict between the nurse and the patient. Women often continue to work during the childrearing years, and many women struggle with the enormity of balancing three careers: wife, mother, and employee.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Reports of arrests because of driving while intoxicated, wife or child abuse, or disorderly conduct are reasons for the nurse to investigate the possibility of drug abuse more carefully. Caffeine is a naturally occurring legal stimulant that stimulates the central nervous system and is not the choice for calming nerves. Substance abuse is not always diagnosable, particularly in its early stages. The nurse may obtain important information by making specific inquiries about past medical problems, changes in food intake or sleep patterns, and problems of emotional lability.
