Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety. It may be given as a prn medication. Option A:
Buspirone has a long action and is not useful as a prn drug. Option C: Phenytoin is an
anticonvulsant. Option D: Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor used to treat the
client's depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cognitive restructuring calls for the client to examine automatic negative thoughts about himself and
replace them with more realistic evaluations of his own abilities. The other options would not
promote examination of the negative thinking exhibited by the client.
