Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The neurodevelopmental model proposes that schizophrenia results when abnormal brain synapses are formed in response to an intrauterine insult during the second trimester of pregnancy, when neuronal migration is normally taking place. At conception, no implantation in the uterus has occurred. The first trimester is prior to neuronal migration. The third trimester is after neuronal migration.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The most commonly reported adverse effects of phentermine are nervousness, dry mouth, constipation, and hypertension. Hypernatremia, fatigue, and hypoglycemia are not adverse effects of phentermine.
