Answer to Question 1

C
While not a substitute for clinical judgment and diagnosis, DSM-IV-TR serves as the current gold standard for making mental health diagnoses. Few health care fields have such a gold standard, and for the foreseeable future, DSM makes a landmark contribution to progress in mental health care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Haloperidol decanoate is a long-acting preparation of antipsychotic medication. Another first-generation antipsychotic formulated for long duration of action is fluphenazine decanoate. Both of these drugs, as well as all other antipsychotics formulated for long duration of action, are administered by injection only.
