Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. inhalants:
Inhalants (glue, paint thinner, etc.) are often abused by young people due to easy access. They rarely show up on standard drug screens and are linked to progression to other substance use.

B. stimulants:
Includes drugs like amphetamines or cocaine, but these typically appear on drug screens and are not as common among young adolescents as inhalants.

C. depressants:
Includes benzodiazepines and barbiturates; these are controlled substances and more common in adults or polydrug users.

D. hallucinogens:
Not typically the entry point for adolescent drug use, and many (like LSD) can be detected with specific screens.

A. "This medication will cure alcohol use disorder." B. "Avoid alcohol for 2 weeks after discontinuing the medication.” C. "You can safely use topical products that contain alcohol, such as cologne." D. "You should avoid eating undercooked meats while taking this medication.”

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "This medication will cure alcohol use disorder.”
Disulfiram does not cure alcohol use disorder. It is a deterrent that causes unpleasant effects when alcohol is consumed, supporting abstinence.

B. "Avoid alcohol for 2 weeks after discontinuing the medication.”
Disulfiram inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase. Its effects persist for up to 2 weeks after stopping, so alcohol must be avoided during this time.

C. "You can safely use topical products that contain alcohol, such as cologne."
False. Even topical alcohol-containing products (cologne, aftershave, hand sanitizers) can trigger a disulfiram reaction.

D. "You should avoid eating undercooked meats while taking this medication."
There is no known interaction between disulfiram and undercooked meat.
