Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The suffix -lol is seen in many of the drug names for adrenergic blocking antagonists. The suffix -aine would indicate a topical anesthetic, whereas -azole indicates an antifungal, and the suffix -triptan relates to the triptans.

Answer to Question 2

Attention-deficit disorders involve various conditions characterized by an inability to concentrate on one activity for longer than a few minutes. The nursing student needing accommodations has an attention-deficit disorder. The salesperson exhibits signs of mania, which are characterized by periods of extreme overactivity and excitement followed by extreme depression. The physician is experiencing narcolepsy, which is defined as daytime sleepiness and sudden periods of loss of wakefulness. The teenager is schizophrenic and is exhibiting paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions.
