Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Urinary retention is a serious side effect that must be reported to the physician. Dry mouth is a common side effect of trihexyphenidyl (Artane) that does not need reporting. Hypertension is not a side effect of trihexyphenidyl (Artane). Anorexia is not a side effect of trihexyphenidyl (Artane).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Depression is common with any chronic, debilitating disease. The medications are not the cause of the depression. Patients with a neurological illness do not always develop depression. Depression is treatable with medications, but this does not help the family to understand what is happening with the patient.
