Answer to Question 1

B
The IEC can function in a variety of ways, serving as consultants, providing education, and helping resolve ethical conflicts or dilemmas for health care providers. Recommendations from the formal IEC may or may not be binding and are relative to the situation at hand.

Answer to Question 2

D
Diazepam increases NREM stage 1 and reduces NREM stages 3 and REM. REM suppression is dose related.
