Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
All of the instructions are correct except the one regarding purchase of herbals. Internet purchasing of herbals might not be the best plan unless the reputation of the firm can be confirmed.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nortriptyline is a secondary amine with a good side effect profile. It has a minimal tendency to cause orthostatic hypotension, meaning the risk of falls is low. It is somewhat sedating, which is helpful to patients with insomnia. The other options are either undesirable or nonspecific outcomes.
