Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Combining a benzodiazepine with alcohol or other CNS depressant is potentially fatal. 1. No food restrictions exist. 2. Dosage should not be changed without consultation with the physician. 4. Clients may return to work unless experiencing sedation. In this case, they would be cautioned not to operate machinery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Lithium is contraindicated during pregnancy because of teratogenic effects. Options 1, 2, and 4 would not be contraindicative to lithium therapy.
