Answer to Question 1

B, C, E

Answer to Question 2

Valproic acid (divalproex) has a direct mood-stabilizing effect, and it may begin to work within 24 to 72 hours. Consequently, it is sometimes administered as part of the initial pharmacological treatment of acute mania or may sometimes be used alone.
