Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Modafinil (Provigil) is used to treat narcolepsy. Atomoxetine is administered for ADHD. Guarana is the main ingredient in caffeine and is not administered for narcolepsy. Caffeine is not administered for narcolepsy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The absence of sensory perception means that patients are at risk for injuring the anesthetized body part without their knowledge. Autonomic dysreflexia and latex allergy response are not plausible risks. The brief action of local anesthetics means that self-care deficit is rarely an issue.
