Answer to Question 1

C
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is more likely to occur in patients taking traditional high-potency antipsychotic drugs. The distracters are not antipsychotic drugs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Group leaders must recognize and manage a group process and content. Cohesiveness helps the group achieve its goals. The speaker has made an observation of the group process. Distracting, dominant, or hostile comments distract from the curative factor of universality.
