Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Oxazepam and lorazepam are the drugs of choice in treating anxiety disorders because they have no active metabolites. Chlordiazepoxide and clorazepate are not the drugs of choice when treating anxiety associated with alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam has not been studied as fully as oxazepam in treating patients who have hepatic function impairment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The primary therapeutic outcome expected from benzodiazepine antianxiety agents is a decrease in the level of anxiety to a manageable level. Physical signs of anxiety have decreased, and coping is improved. Being unable to participate in group therapy, persistent fears, and choosing inappropriate coping mechanisms for noncatastrophic events indicate that the anxiety is not manageable.
