Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The adolescent patient has legal problems associated with alcohol use. The AAIS screening instrument would be appropriate to use. DAST is a comprehensive screening and assessment instrument. ADAD is an adolescent drug abuse diagnosis instrument. MMPI is a personality inventory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Paradoxical, or opposite, responses would include agitation and insomnia. Melatonin causes drowsiness and poor concentration, which are not paradoxical. Melatonin is best known as a sleep aid and treatment for jet lag.
