Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Percocet is a type of opiate. Naloxone is used to treat an overdose of opiates. Diazepam can be prescribed to manage signs of an overdose. Haldol can be administered to manage an overdose of phencyclidine piperidine (PCP). Vitamin B12 is used to manage the neurologic symptoms that might accompany a nitrate overdose.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Substances of addiction alter the amount of available neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Several genes have been identified that seem to influence the risk for alcohol dependence. Low self-esteem increases the risk for addiction. No addictive personality type has been identified.
