Answer to Question 1

B
Corticosteroids is a common class of drugs that induce mania in clients of any age. Levodopa may also induce mania. Clients taking anabolic steroids may be at particular risk for mania and may not admit to steroid use even if asked. Other medications that may occasionally cause mania include baclofen, bromocriptine, captopril, chloroquine, and thyroxine.

Answer to Question 2

A
Giving a direct answer is appropriate because the patient is seeking information. To mention a possible genetic origin may cause the parent to needlessly feel responsible. Saying that homosexuality is a normal expression of sexual behavior denies the parent's right to be distressed. Suggesting that the patient is concerned for self may be considered challenging.
