Answer to Question 1

D
The patient who is high on lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) often experiences synesthesia (visions in sound), depersonalization, and concerns about going crazy.. Synesthesia is not common in schizophrenia. CNS stimulant overdose more commonly involves elevated vital signs and assaultive, grandiose behaviors. Phencyclidine (PCP) use commonly causes bizarre or violent behavior, nystagmus, elevated vital signs, and repetitive jerking movements.

Answer to Question 2

2
Because it is difficult to detect, many persons with bulimia go untreated.
