Answer to Question 1

D
Patients with OCD usually respond optimally to a combination of an SSRI, such as fluoxetine, and behavioral therapy. Alprazolam and buspirone are used to treat GAD. Deep brain stimulation is used when other therapies fail to treat OCD.

Answer to Question 2

D
In the planning step, the nurse delineates specific interventions directed at solving or preventing problems. When creating the care plan, the nurse defines goals, sets priorities, and establishes criteria for evaluating success. The assessment step involves collecting data about the patient. The evaluation step involves evaluating the medication effectiveness. The implementation step identifies actions that are taken to administer the drug.
