Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Bupropion sustained-release tablets must not be cut, as this disrupts the controlled-release mechanism, risking side effects. Other statements are correct: mood changes require reporting, missed doses shouldn't be doubled, and therapeutic effects take weeks.

Correct Answer: B,C,D

Which question is most critical for the nurse to ask the client during preoperative assessment and health history taking?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A family history of adverse reactions to anesthesia (e.g., malignant hyperthermia) is critical, as it's a potentially fatal genetic condition. Other questions are less urgent for anesthesia safety.
