Answer to Question 1

D, E
Important guidelines include provision of encouragement, especially when patients are in distress, and strengthening patients' self-esteem. The other options are actually the opposite of accepted guidelines.

Answer to Question 2

B
Kava-kava relieves anxiety without producing cognitive impairment, reducing mental acuity, or affecting coordination. Kava-kava is known to have an affinity for benzodiazepine receptors. It does not usually produce any of the effects cited in the other options.
