Answer to Question 1

D
The correct response identifies basic information that each patient should have. Because the information is basic, the outcome, as stated, is realistic. The other options are less basic and less attainable.

Answer to Question 2

B
High-potency antipsychotics are more likely to cause extrapyramidal side effects (EPSEs) than low-potency antipsychotics. The other effects are not related to potency classification.
