Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The use of olanzapine (Zyprexa) is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome (hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and abdominal obesity).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Robinul is administered prior to ECT to reduce oral secretions, and therefore the client's mouth would feel dry. Robinul would neither calm the client nor result in increased urination or tingling of legs/feet.
