SESSION ONE QUESTIONS:

Question Title

C. Begin an intensive 180-minute educational group

D. Discharge the patient because acute withdrawal has ended

Question Title

A. Increase the amount of written material assigned after each session

B. Remove the patient from group treatment until concentration fully returns

A. Recommend a high-THC inhaled product for rapid pain relief

B. Recommend delta-8 THC because it has no psychoactive effects

C. Avoid THC-containing cannabis because of the patient’s psychosis risk

D. Recommend increasing THC until the patient experiences euphoria

Question Title

A. Edible cannabis normally takes effect within one to three minutes

B. The patient developed opioid withdrawal

C. The delayed onset and prolonged duration of ingested cannabis led to dose stacking

D. Topical THC entered the bloodstream through the skin

SESSION THREE QUESTIONS

Question Title

14. A 52-year-old patient has taken a prescribed benzodiazepine daily for several years. When the patient misses doses, they develop anxiety, tremors, and insomnia. They take the medication exactly as prescribed and have no cravings, loss of control, functional impairment, or continued use despite harm. Which conclusion is most appropriate? (Required.)

A. The patient meets criteria for a severe sedative use disorder

B. The patient demonstrates physical dependence, which alone does not establish a substance use disorder

C. The patient is diverting the medication

D. The patient should immediately stop the medication

Question Title

The patient remains employed but has experienced recurrent cravings and several recent episodes of opioid use. A residential program requests authorization solely because a bed is available. What is the best next step? (Required.)

A. Approve residential treatment because it is more intensive than outpatient care

B. Complete a multidimensional assessment and select the least restrictive level of care that safely meets the patient’s clinical needs
