Question 5

A self-centered focus by the SUD client mostly impacts their ability to overcome which ultimate concern?&#10;A) Death&#10;B) Freedom&#10;C) Isolation&#10;D) Meaninglessness

Accepted Answer

A self-centered focus often leads to feelings of meaninglessness, as the individual may struggle to find purpose beyond their own desires and needs. This can be a significant barrier to overcoming substance use disorder, as addiction often causes people to prioritize their substance use above all else, leading to a sense of emptiness and lack of fulfillment. By shifting focus towards meaningful relationships, purposeful activities, and a broader sense of connection to the world, individuals can find greater fulfillment and motivation to overcome their addiction.

Question 7

Responsibility and willing are most closely aligned with which ultimate concern?&#10;A) Death&#10;B) Freedom&#10;C) Isolation&#10;D) Meaninglessness

Accepted Answer

Responsibility and willingness imply the ability to make choices and decisions, implying a concern for freedom. Choices A, C, and D involve concerns surrounding the nature of existence, rather than individual agency and autonomy.

Question 8

Ownership of one's being is called:&#10;A) normal anxiety&#10;B) I am experience&#10;C) guilt&#10;D) neurotic anxiety

Accepted Answer

The term for ownership of one's being is "I am experience," which is an important component of self-awareness and a healthy psyche. Normal anxiety may occur in response to stressors, but it is not the same as the experience of owning one's being. Guilt and neurotic anxiety can arise from unresolved conflicts or other psychological factors, but they do not relate specifically to ownership of one's being.

Question 9

This ultimate concern causes distress due to the human being's need for structure.&#10;A) Death&#10;B) Freedom&#10;C) Isolation&#10;D) Meaninglessness

Accepted Answer

The ultimate concern that causes distress due to the human being's need for structure is meaninglessness. Human beings have an innate need for structure and order in their lives, and without a sense of meaning and purpose, they can feel adrift and lost. This can cause distress and anxiety, as well as a sense of hopelessness and despair.
