Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Adrenergic blockers can affect labor, and babies born to mothers taking these drugs may exhibit adverse cardiovascular, respiratory, and CNS effects. Problems with the GI and GU systems have not been reported.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Sudden withdrawal can cause cholinergic effects such as diarrhea, gastritis, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, arrhythmias, drooling, and insomnia. Abrupt withdrawal of a typical antipsychotic generally does not cause tardive dyskinesia, somnolence, or constipation.
