Answer to Question 1

D
Only chlorpromazine and clozapine are antipsychotics. Chlorpromazine is a traditional drug, introduced in the early 1950s, whereas clozapine is a newer drug, introduced in the 1990s. Paroxetine and imipramine are antidepressants.

Answer to Question 2

D
Oculogyric crisis is a specific dystonia in which the eyes roll upward and remain in a fixed position. It results from involuntary muscle spasms and occurs early in the course of treatment. Akathisia refers to motor restlessness. Nystagmus refers to a different type of abnormal eye movements. Tardive dyskinesia refers to abnormal movements primarily of the face and mouth muscles.
