Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The antihistamine diphenhydramine is the only drug available to treat sleep disorders during pregnancy. If sleep disturbance has developed as part of an anxiety disorder and antianxiety drugs are used prior to delivery, the neonate will need to be thoroughly assessed for possible withdrawal symptoms, retardation, or physical anomalies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Adverse reactions common with benzodiazepines include daytime sedation, ataxia, dizziness, and headaches.
