Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
It is recommended that benzodiazepines not be administered during at least the first trimester of pregnancy. There may be an increased incidence of birth defects because these agents readily cross the placenta and enter fetal circulation. Mothers who are breastfeeding should not receive benzodiazepines regularly. The benzodiazepines readily cross into breast milk and exert a pharmacologic effect on the infant. If benzodiazepines are taken regularly during pregnancy, the infant should be monitored closely after delivery for signs of withdrawal, including hypotonia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Mania is characterized by distinct episodes of euphoria and elation. Sadness is characteristic of depression. Suicide is not generally associated with mania; it is more commonly associated with depression. Psychomotor retardation is not associated with mania.
