Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients who develop a physical dependence on a drug will experience withdrawal syndrome when the drug is stopped. Addiction and cravings can occur without physical dependence. Tolerance refers to a decrease in drug effects with repeated use.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Headaches and increased appetite are common during nicotine withdrawal and may last for several months. Bupropion is effective but has many serious effects. Nicotine replacement therapy does not eliminate the need for behavioral therapy. Varenicline is used for at least 4 months.
