Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Buspar is used for anxiety disorders. Sleeping better would be an indication of reduction in anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This patient is most likely overwhelmed and may feel abandoned, so staying with her will be most reassuring. Encouraging her to talk about feelings or memories of the accident will probably increase anxiety, and leaving her alone will increase her sense of abandonment.
