Answer to Question 1

C
Bupropion (trade names Wellbutrin and Zyban) is not known for causing weight gain. It also has no sexual side effects, unlike other antidepressants. However, a major adverse effect is that bupropion can lower a person's seizure threshold.

Answer to Question 2

C
Peer support groups provide an avenue for professional nurses who facilitate stressful groups to share their problems and the stresses related to their work. Appropriate topics include case consultation, sharing of information about educational opportunities, discussion of management skills, general sharing of information, and discussion of strategies to reduce professional isolation. Less appropriate topics for such a group are personal comments that are more social in nature and probing comments that relate to personal rather than professional concerns.
