Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Drowsiness is a common adverse effect, and people who work with machinery, drive a car, administer medicines, or perform other duties in which they must remain mentally alert should not take trazodone while working. Excessive thirst, hand tremors, and diarrhea are not adverse effects associated with trazodone.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Lithium is used to treat acute mania and for prophylactic treatment of recurrent manic and depressive episodes in bipolar disorders. Psychotic episodes are treated with major tranquilizers that have an antipsychotic effect. The drugs of choice for treating OCD are SSRIs. Depressive disorders are not primarily treated with lithium.
