Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Although an initial response to buspirone may occur as early as 1 week, it may take up to 4 to 6 weeks for peak results of the medication to occur.
One to 3 days is too short an interval to expect the effects of buspirone to develop.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Buspirone is not a central nervous system depressant.
The effects of buspirone manifest less rapidly than those of the benzodiazepines.
Buspirone is not suitable for an as-needed medication because of the delay in therapeutic effects.
The potential for abuse is lower with buspirone than with the benzodiazepines.
