vagrancy because she was sleeping in her car in a parking lot at a local shopping center. She could not post bail, so
she is sentenced to 14 days in jail. During group, she contributes that none of this is her fault. Her mother is totally
evil because she would not let Alexa stay in the family home. She has some other family. but they are all jerks
because they won’t help her. Alexa’s friend Melanie is the absolute best person in the world, but she can’t help
because her boss fired her for no reason. Alexa has a history of arrests for buying illegal drugs and prostitution. The

Anne is a 32-year-old female who presented to care after a random drug screening at work was positive for cocaine.

further discussion in session, it appears that she uses cocaine every day at work, sometimes 2–3 times, other days
more. She also uses it occasionally at home and most weekends. During her third session, she admitted that it is a
financial burden, and she basically cannot afford any other form of recreation. She understands that if she uses again
she will lose her job, and she admits that she loves her job and that cocaine is not worth losing it. When counseling
her about cessation strategies, the PMHNP advises all the following except:

including DUI, domestic violence, battery, and other violent acts that fortunately have not yet caused any serious
injury or death to the recipients. An interview with his wife reveals that he has lied about almost everything for the
last few years; he is able to get hired for jobs because he is very engaging and likeable, and then invariably he gets
fired because he misses work and doesn’t do his job properly when he is there. According to the wife, they have
known each other since high school, where Fletcher was very happy and well-adjusted. He was on the soccer team,
