Answer to Question 1

D
The nagging is the trigger to the assault in this situation. The trigger stage should not be confused as being a justified reason for an assault to occur.

Answer to Question 2

C
Buspirone is considered effective in the long-term management of anxiety because it is effective at relieving anxiety and is not habituating. However, because it has a relatively slow onset of action (slower than benzodiazepines) and is long acting, it is not appropriate as a PRN medication or a fast-acting medication. Benzodiazepines are unlikely to increase risks of blood dyscrasias.
