Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Antipsychotic medications may produce weight gain, which would complicate care of a patient with diabetes and/or lower the seizure threshold, which would complicate care of a patient with epilepsy. Parkinson's disease involves changes in transmission of dopamine and acetylcholine, so these drugs would also complicate care of this patient. Osteoarthritis and Grave's disease should have no synergistic effect with this medication.

Answer to Question 2

2
The main goal of crisis intervention is to help individuals and families manage in crisis by offering immediate emotional support.
