Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Somnote is available in capsule form and should not be chewed, should be taken with a full glass of water, should be taken after meals, and is usually ordered to be taken three times a day after meals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The selectivity of specific drugs at receptor sites accounts for the wide variety of uses.
There is a wide safety margin between the therapeutic and lethal dosages for these drugs.
Benzodiazepines decrease REM sleep to a lesser extent. Intentional and unintentional overdoses of benzodiazepines are often well tolerated and not fatal. There are transient hypotensive episodes with benzodiazepine therapy.
