Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Fluoxetine is an SSRI. It is an antidepressant that blocks the reuptake of serotonin with few
anticholinergic and sedating side effects. Option A: Clozapine is an antipsychotic. Option B:
Chlordiazepoxide is an anxiolytic. Option C: Tacrine is used to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Answer to Question 2

B
Pseudoparkinsonism induced by antipsychotic medication mimics the symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. It frequently appears within the first month of treatment. Hepatocellular effects would
produce abnormal liver test results. Tardive dyskinesia produces involuntary tonic muscular spasms.
Akathisia produces symptoms of motor restlessness.
