Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Olanzapine (Zyprexa) can cause weight gain and EPS. It does not cause serotonin syndrome, and it is not normally associated with nausea, depression, appetite suppression, or hypothermia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Self-mutilation is frequently performed by individuals who have BPD. Persons with dependent personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, or schizoid personality disorder are not prone to self-mutilation and the accompanying attention that it provides.
