Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Carbamazepine has been used successfully to treat pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia and for bipolar disorders when lithium therapy has not been optimal. Carbamazepine does not have antidepressant, antipsychotic, or sedative effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Encouraging good oral hygiene practices is indicated when a patient is on hydantoin therapy because its use contributes to gingival hyperplasia. Postictal state is a characteristic of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Atonia is not associated with hydantoin therapy. Hydantoin raises the seizure threshold.
