Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Kava kava should not be taken in combination with CNS depressants such as the barbiturate pentobarbital, as it may increase sedative effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
IV anesthetics are rapid in their onset and have a short duration of action. This allows for rapid reversal of anesthesia effects in the recovery room.
