Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
Atypicals are newer antipsychotics that are weak dopamine receptor antagonists which lead to a milder side effect profile and less extrapyramidal symptoms. They treat both positive and negative symptoms and some formulations are available in long-acting injectable forms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This response is reality based, lets the patient know you heard her, and then directs attention to a new plate of food. There is a difference in meaning between I see no bugs from no, those aren't bugs. Response C acknowledges the patient experience rather than denying it.
