Answer to Question 1

C
Lorcaserin was approved by the FDA in 2012 . It suppresses the appetite by altering various 5-HT2C serotonin receptors. Withdrawal from anorexiants can result in rebound weight gain, lethargy, and depression.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
The nurse should identify that premature birth and having a sibling diagnosed with ADHD would predispose a client to the development of ADHD. Research indicates evidence of genetic influences in the etiology of ADHD. Studies also indicate that environmental influences such as lead exposure and diet can be linked with the development of ADHD.
