Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The major goals of treatment for substance abuse are detoxification, initiation of abstinence, and prevention of relapse. Withdrawal may occur, but this is not a goal of treatment. The nursing process may be utilized, but the steps of the process are not the goals of treatment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
If a patient with Addison's disease requires additional mineralocorticoid supplementation, then fludrocortisone acetate (Florinef Acetate) may be indicated. Pituitary dysfunction, GI intolerance, and resistance to hydrocortisone are not plausible rationales.
