Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a possible side effect of all antipsychotics and is associated with sudden fever, hypertension, rigidity, tachycardia, and decreased levels of consciousness. Individuals experiencing this are normally mistaken for having infectious conditions. In such cases, antibiotic treatment and unnecessary investigations can result in a delay of diagnosis.
