Answer to Question 1

B
The relevant guidelines are as follows: the longer the half-life of the drug, the longer the withdrawal symptoms will last, and the less intense the withdrawal symptoms will be.

Answer to Question 2

B
Algorithms and protocols are the most specific set of treatment decisions based on the strongest evidence base. Standards identify all possible prevention and treatment options, whereas best practices and practice guidelines are broader than algorithms and protocols.
