Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The symptoms describe a manic attack. Mania is effectively treated by the antimania drug lithium
and selected anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, valproic acid, and lamotrigine. No drugs from
the other classifications listed are effective in the treatment of mania.

Answer to Question 2

A
This meal contains little tyramine. Vegetables and fruits contain little or no tyramine, and fresh
ground beef and apple pie should be safe. The other meals contain various amounts of tyramine-rich
foods or foods that contain vasopressors: avocados, ripe bananas (banana bread), sausages/hot dogs,
smoked meat (ham), cheddar cheese, yeast, caffeine drinks, and chocolate.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
