Answer to Question 1

A
A common side effect of benzodiazepine therapy is dizziness. Two options indicate that the patient is actually obtaining relief from the benzodiazepine, and physiological dependency is unlikely, whereas psychological dependency can occur if the patient is not taught effective ways to manage anxiety aside from taking a pill.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Cultural competency requires sensitivity to differences and a willingness to learn about cultural beliefs and practices. These characteristics need to be joined with an unbiased ability to move past traditional methods and demonstrate a willingness to change. Skills mastery is not directly related to cultural competency.
