Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, D, E
Feedback:
Haloperidol is a conventional antipsychotic that is used to control the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as agitation, delusions, and hallucinations. Effectiveness of the drug would lead to a decrease in these positive symptoms. Atypical antipsychotics help to diminish the negative symptoms such as alogia and problems with concrete thinking.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Chlorpromazine may be used to treat uncontrolled hiccoughs. Prochlorperazine may be used as an antiemetic. Haloperidol and olanzapine are not indicated for uncontrolled hiccoughs.
