Answer to Question 1

B
Benzodiazepines are among the most widely prescribed medications. They are often prescribed in high doses and for prolonged periods, leading to tolerance, physical dependence, and psychologic dependence. The other options are relevant but are not of the highest priority.

Answer to Question 2

D
PTSD follows exposure to a traumatic event. Symptoms include those described in the scenario, as well as persistent symptoms of arousal and avoidance of stimuli associated with the traumatic event. The symptoms presented are inconsistent with the other options.
