Answer to Question 1

D
Neuroleptic-induced parkinsonism is treated with some of the same drugs used for idiopathic parkinsonism, such as amantadine. If parkinsonism is severe, switching to an SGA may help, because the risk of parkinsonism is much lower with these drugs. An anticholinergic medication may be used initially. A recurrence of parkinsonism when the drug is withdrawn does not indi-cate idiopathic parkinsonism. These drugs should not be used indefinitely.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Beta blockers are used to treat cardiac dysrhythmias, heart failure, and stage fright. They are used to treat hypertension and hyperthyroidism.
