Answer to Question 1

D
A drug would most likely be considered high potency if a typical dose were 5 mg. A drug is classified as high potency when a dose of only a few milligrams can result in significant antipsychotic effects. This is in contrast with low-potency antipsychotics, which may require 50 times as large of a dose to result in similar effects. Examples of high-potency antipsychotics are Prolixin, Stelazine, and Haldol.
