Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Recent research has demonstrated clear, yet modest, general health benefits and modest efficacy data associated with the use of omega-3 fatty acids as a reasonable augmentation strategy for individuals with mood disorders. There is insufficient information regarding the use of Kava, ginger root, or B-12 supplements in the treatment of mood disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been proven useful to patients with acute mania. A patient with acute mania has difficulty sitting through a group therapy session due to hyperactivity. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is effective in treating depression, not mania. Seclusion and restraint are used only as an emergency measure.
