Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A psychosocial club is organized to provide the 4 S's and is not costly to patients. Day hos-pitalization would not be possible because of the lack of insurance benefits. Living with his mother might fall short of stimulation and support. Spending time in the mall lacks structure, socialization, and support.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic. Atypical antipsychotic medications are more effec-tive than typical antipsychotics in blocking serotonin receptors and reducing the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Haloperidol (Haldol) and chlorpromazine (Thorazine) are typical antipsychotic medications while phenelzine (Nardil) is an MAOI antidepressant.
