Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Breast-feeding while taking antipsychotic medication is contraindicated since the medication is excreted through the breast milk and passed on to the child. However, there are no particular known contraindications regarding the use of antipsychotics during pregnancy. Clinicians do try to minimize the dosage during pregnancy and avoid administering the medication early in the pregnancy and close to the delivery time.
