Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Anxious patients need to have simplified, stable lives while they are suffering from anxiety. The basic causes also should be investigated so that the patients' anxiety may be relieved. Some classes might be too stimulating; unless the patients have dementia, they do not need to be fenced in; and even though wine may be part of a relaxed lifestyle, using it to alleviate anxiety might lead to dependence.

Answer to Question 2

C
The immediate treatment of hypoparathyroid tetany is IV administration of calcium gluconate. Care should be taken that none of the drug escapes the vein and extravasates into the tissues, because sloughing may occur.
