Answer to Question 1

2. How often do you use alcohol?

Rationale:
Open-ended questions will elicit the greatest amount of information. Asking closed questions that can be answered with a yes or no, such as those in the other options, will limit the information obtained.

Answer to Question 2

4. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

Rationale:
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the classification of antidepressant that addresses a wide range of anxiety disorders and symptoms with a low abuse potential. The tricyclic antidepressants and antianxiety agents target limited symptoms and have a high abuse potential. Anticonvulsants target very limited symptoms.
