Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Atypical antipsychotics may be more effective in relieving some symptoms than typical antipsychotics, and they usually produce milder adverse effects. A major drawback is the high cost of these drugs. All antipsychotics are available for the oral route. There are several black box warnings relating to atypical antipsychotics.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Characteristic features of DM include polyuria, with excretion of dilute urine ranging from 4 L to as much as 30 L. Hematuria does not normally occur, and blood glucose levels are not directly affected.
