Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Trazodone does not cause tardive dyskinesia; antipsychotics do. It can cause orthostatic hypotension, sedation, and drowsiness. It should be given after meals or with snacks to minimize gastrointestinal upset.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, D, E
Behaviors associated with conduct disorder include initiation of physical fights, arson, and truancy. Becoming easily annoyed and experiencing temper tantrums are associated with oppositional defiant disorder.
