Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
SSRIs have been shown to be effective in treating GAD, OCD, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. They are used to treat PTSD but have not demonstrated effectiveness in clinical research.

Answer to Question 2

A
When absorbed in a sufficient amount, local anesthetics can affect the heart and blood vessels. These drugs suppress excitability in the myocardium and conduction system and can cause hy-potension, bradycardia, heart block, and potentially cardiac arrest. Anaphylaxis would be mani-fested by hypotension, bronchoconstriction, and edema of the glottis. Central nervous system excitation would be manifested by hyperactivity, restlessness, and anxiety and may be followed by convulsions. No evidence indicates respiratory depression; this patient's respirations are within normal limits.
