Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
According to the Controlled Substances Act, drugs that have the potential for abuse/dependency are classified as schedule I-V. Schedule I drugs have no approved medical applications in the United States. Schedule II drugs have high potential for abuse/dependency and have multiple restrictions for prescriptions. Schedule III, IV, and V have lower risks of dependency/abuse and fewer restrictions for prescriptions

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are indicators of liver function, and increased levels indicate liver damage from a variety of causes. BUN, ANA, ESR, and FDP are not indicators of liver function.
