Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Antipsychotic medications, also known as neuroleptics, are used to treat severe psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. They also are used for acute and chronic thought disorders and confusion that commonly accompanies psychotic disorders, extreme aggressive behaviors, and dementia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Benzodiazepines have the pharmacologic effects of anxiolysis, sedation, centrally mediated muscle relaxation, and elevation of the seizure threshold. Buspirone (BuSpar) is an anxiolytic that binds serotonin receptors. Its mechanism of action is not known; however, it lacks anticonvulsant, sedative, or muscle relaxant properties.
