Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Although psychological dependence is very high with marijuana, it has minor-to-no withdrawal symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The nurse should be nonjudgmental, but should firmly communicate disapproval of any indicated substance abuse. Informing the patient that substance abuse is a sin is being judgmental. Patients might be less likely to inform the nurse of a hidden substance abuse problem in the presence of family members.
