Answer to Question 1

B
Short-term goals are those achievable in 4 to 6 days for hospitalized patients and somewhat longer for patients in other settings. A period of 1 to 2 days allows too little time. The other options suggest longer times than necessary.

Answer to Question 2

A
Aripiprazole is novel in action. It acts by stabilizing the dopamine system through partial agonism of dopamine D2 and 5-HT2 . The other drugs are atypical antipsychotics, which have other modes of action that produce therapeutic effects.
