Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Initial treatment for postpartum psychosis often involves a combination of mood stabilizers such as lithium, antipsychotic medications such as chlorpromazine, and anxiolytics such as diazepam. Adderall is used to treat ADHD and ECT is usually not a first line treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Wound healing and recovery from illness require high protein and vitamin C. Foods high in protein include animal products such as fish, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, lamb, eggs, cheese, and milk. Foods high in vitamin C include many fruits (cantaloupe, kiwi, oranges, papaya) and vegetables (spinach, brussels sprouts, and all colors of bell peppers). Whole-wheat bread, although a healthy choice, is not a good source of either protein or vitamin C.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Did you know?

Lower drug doses for elderly patients should be used first, with titrations of the dose as tolerated to prevent unwanted drug-related pharmacodynamic effects.

Did you know?

No drugs are available to relieve parathyroid disease. Parathyroid disease is caused by a parathyroid tumor, and it needs to be removed by surgery.

Did you know?

Disorders that may affect pharmacodynamics include genetic mutations, malnutrition, thyrotoxicosis, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, and certain forms of insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus.
