Answer to Question 1

C
This patient has symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) that are not acute or severe. Buspirone is as effective as benzodiazepines but without causing CNS depression or having the same abuse potential. Symptoms develop slowly, which is acceptable in this case, since symptoms are not acute or severe. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine and would be used in the short term to treat acute, severe anxiety. Amitriptyline is a TCA used to treat panic disorder. Paroxetine is an antidepressant used as a second-line drug for GAD.

Answer to Question 2

D
Morphine and its antagonist, naloxone, act directly at the same receptors. Morphine causes acti-vation, and naloxone prevents activation. Neither morphine nor naloxone acts to alter transmitter reuptake, release, or storage.
