Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The client indicates a need for additional information about taking benzodiazepines when stating the need for blood work to monitor for toxic levels. No blood work is needed when taking a short-acting benzodiazepine. The client should understand that taking extra doses of a benzodiazepine may result in addiction and that the drug should not be taken in conjunction with alcohol.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Obsessions are unwanted, intrusive, repetitive thoughts. Compulsions are unwanted, repetitive behavior patterns in response to obsessive thoughts that are efforts to reduce anxiety.
