Answer to Question 1

C
Safety is the most basic milieu element and therefore is of highest priority. Norms often contribute to safety. Activities and balance are other important milieu elements but are of lower priority.

Answer to Question 2

D
Drugs that have a high probability for serious interactions (e.g., MAOIs) will need to be withheld for up to 6 weeks or more as fluoxetine is washing out of the system. The remaining options are too short an interval.
