Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. duty to report
This refers to reporting suspected abuse or neglect (e.g., child or elder abuse), not specifically about preventing self-harm.

B. duty to pr
Incomplete option-likely a typographical error. Not a valid or recognized legal/ethical term.

C. protect
Healthcare professionals have a legal and ethical duty to protect patients from harming themselves, including through supervision, intervention, and safety precautions.

D. duty to warn
This applies when a client threatens to harm others, and the provider must warn the intended victim or authorities-not self-harm situations.

E. duty to medicate
This is not a recognized legal or ethical duty. Medication may be part of care, but not a professional “duty” to medicate.

A. MOMA B. LSD C. SSRI D. PCP

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. MOMA
Possibly a typo for MDMA (ecstasy), which is a stimulant with some hallucinogenic properties, but not as potent or long-acting as LSD. Flashbacks are less common with MDMA.

B. LSD
LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is a powerful hallucinogen. It causes long-lasting trips (8–12+ hours) and can produce flashbacks (hallucinogen persisting perception disorder) long after use.

C. SSRI
SSRIs are antidepressants, not hallucinogens. They do not cause euphoria or flashbacks.

D. PCP
PCP is a dissociative drug, not a classic hallucinogen like LSD. Effects are usually shorter in duration, and flashbacks are less typical.
