Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Lamotrigine is an antiepileptic agent used for long-term maintenance of patients with bipolar disorders because it decreases occurrence of acute mood episodes. Apriprazole is an atypical antipsychotic and is not an antiepileptic medication. Flexeril is a muscle relaxant and Temazepam is a hypnotic agent. None of these medications are indicated for the treatment of bipolar disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Arrhythmias can alter cardiac output that could affect every cell in the body. Arrhythmias usually do not cause pain, disrupt healing, or interfere with the diagnosis of an MI.
