Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Benzodiazepines have a lower risk of dependency and tolerance than do other drugs used for anxiety and insomnia (such as the barbiturates). They are not necessarily more effective, affordable, or likely to be covered under insurance premiums. Although economics is an important factor in pharmacology, drug safety is essential for widespread use.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Stress is generally a symptom of an underlying disorder. It is more productive to uncover and address the cause than to treat the symptoms.
