Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Initial treatment for postpartum psychosis often involves a combination of mood stabilizers such as lithium, antipsychotic medications such as chlorpromazine, and anxiolytics such as diazepam. Adderall is used to treat ADHD and ECT is usually not a first line treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Wound healing and recovery from illness require high protein and vitamin C. Foods high in protein include animal products such as fish, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, lamb, eggs, cheese, and milk. Foods high in vitamin C include many fruits (cantaloupe, kiwi, oranges, papaya) and vegetables (spinach, brussels sprouts, and all colors of bell peppers). Whole-wheat bread, although a healthy choice, is not a good source of either protein or vitamin C.
