Answer to Question 1

1,3,5
Rationale: Light therapy has been effective with Seasonal Affective Disorder. Bupropion ER (Wellbutrin ER) is the only antidepressant approved for treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is correct because it will image the ventricles. Electroencephalogra phy (EEG) measures the electrical activity of the brain. Single photon-emission computed tomography images the neuroreceptors. Polysomnography measures the electrical activity of the brain while sleeping throughout the night.
