Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Clozaril may contribute to sedation, so more time must pass before approving driving.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A delusion is a fixed, false belief. Hallucinations refer to altered sensory perceptions and illusions are misinterpretations of real stimuli. Autistic thoughts would not be as organized as this delusion.
