Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Modafinil does not disrupt nighttime sleep, a side effect often seen with other amphetamines.
Modafinil has a lower potential for abuse than traditional amphetamines.
Modafinil is eliminated primarily by the liver, therefore it would not be safer for patients with liver disease.
As can most amphetamines, modafinil can be prescribed for narcolepsy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Paroxetine is approved by the FDA for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety.
Clomipramine is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Venlafaxine is used to treat anxiety.
