Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Organizing the day and the drug regimen to make it the least intrusive on a patient's comfort can help to prevent errors and improve compliance. Ethnicity, gender, and age should be a consideration when ordering the drug, but after the drug is chosen it should be administered in a way that will maintain the patient's quality-of-life.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Anticholinergic drugs that are centrally active are useful in treating parkinsonism. MAOIs, synthetic antiviral agents, and dopaminergic agents are incorrect.
