Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The presence of physical withdrawal symptoms (muscle tremors) is seen when a person is physically dependent on a drug and the drug is removed. With psychological dependence, few physical signs are seen. Therapeutic effects are seen while drugs are being used, not after they have been removed. (pp. 1415)

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Heparin is the generic name, but comparing one well-understood drug with others in the same class is known as the prototype approach. (pp. 1213)
