Answer to Question 1

A
Consistency in response is vital to positive outcomes; hence, following the treatment plan is the correct answer. The response of staff might take different forms depending on the treatment plan.

Answer to Question 2

D
In the past, beta-blockers were strictly cardiac drugs, but new research has found this class of drugs to be successful as adjunctive treatment for social phobias. The other options are antianxiety and antidepressant medications; they are not used for cardiac arrhythmias.
