Answer to Question 1

B
The patient's complaints indicate activation of norepinephrine receptors. The medication has stimulated the action of 1-receptors. None of the other options correctly identifies this outcome.

Answer to Question 2

C
Women, older adults, patients with affective symptoms, and patients with first episodes of schizophrenia have a higher risk for EPSEs.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
