Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Amphetamines have the ability to suppress appetite, so the client will show a decrease in appetite. The drug action results in high blood pressure, not low blood pressure. The client also experiences wakefulness, not drowsiness. Amphetamines produce a euphoric state, not depression.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Caffeine leads to skeletal muscle stimulation. Caffeine results in an increase, not decrease, in heart rate. Caffeine is a diuretic and it increases, not decreases, urinary output. Caffeine does not lead to a feeling of euphoria or well-being.
