Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Buspirone, a newer antianxiety agent, has no sedative, anticonvulsant, or muscle-relaxant properties, and its mechanism of action is unknown. However, it reduces the signs and symptoms of anxiety without many of the central nervous system effects and severe adverse effects associated with other anxiolytic drugs. Most of the antianxiety drugs are rapidly absorbed from the GI tract, metabolized in the liver, have a significant drugdrug interaction with alcohol and other drugs, and can result in psychological dependence.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
For prevention of motion sickness, give antiemetics 30 minutes before travel and every 4 to 6 hours, if necessary. The nurse would not recommend taking them with the first symptoms, 10 minutes before the trip, or 1 day prior to the trip.
