Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
These foods provide adequate nutrition, but, more importantly, they are finger foods that the hyperactive patient could eat on the run. The foods in the incorrect options cannot be eaten without utensils.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Some patients find that taking lithium with meals diminishes nausea. The incorrect options are less helpful.
