Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Patients with bipolar disorder may shift from emotions of extreme depression to extreme rage and agitation. Mania may include grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, pressured speech, racing thoughts, buying sprees, and sexual indiscretions. Bipolar disorder must include either mania or hypomania, not just depression. Bipolar disorder must include depression with either mania or hypomania, not attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. A mood change that becomes worse in the winter is called seasonal affective disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4,5
Rationale 1: Febrile seizures occur in both genders.
Rationale 2: Many children experience high temperatures without experiencing seizures.
Rationale 3: Febrile seizures are most common in the 3-month to 5-year range.
Rationale 4: Up to 5 of children experience seizure activity related to temperature elevation.
Rationale 5: The best course of action for febrile seizures is prevention by using acetaminophen to prevent onset of fever.
