Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Abrupt discontinuation of clonazepam (Klonopin) can result in serious withdrawal symptoms. There aren't any diet restrictions with the use of clonazepam (Klonopin). Routine blood work is not required with the use of clonazepam (Klonopin). Stevens-Johnson rash is not a side effect of clonazepam (Klonopin).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The final examination is a temporary event that is the cause of the anxiety. Once the examination is over, it is likely that the situational anxiety will end. Social anxiety is a fear of crowds. Performance anxiety is frequently referred to as stage fright. Although the situation presented required the student to perform on the exam, it is best defined as situational anxiety.
