Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The clinical symptoms of anxiety are numerous. They are generally classified as physiologic, psychological or emotional, behavioral, and intellectual or cognitive responses to stress. The clinical symptoms may vary according to the level of anxiety exhibited by the client. Tearfulness and sadness are symptoms of depression, not of anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The benzodiazepines have a high risk for withdrawal symptoms, and the client needs to be educated as to this fact. The benzodiazepines do not interact with certain food groups like MAOIs do. The client does not need to have blood drawn when being treated with benzodiazepines; this would be true if the client were on an atypical antipsychotic such as Clozaril. There is no risk for arrhythmias with the benzodiazepines.
