Answer to Question 1

C
Medications that alter the level of consciousness include analgesics, antidepressants, antidiuretics, antihypertensives, benzodiazepines, and sedatives. Aminoglycosides are not a category of medications that alter the level of consciousness.

Answer to Question 2

1. A desire to overpower and control.

Rationale:
Rape is a crime of violence generated by issues of power and anger rather than by sex drive, fantasies, or the inability to control anxiety.
