Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Trihexyphenidyl (Trihexy) is used in the treatment of parkinsonism and extrapyramidal reactions caused by antipsychotic drugs. Valium is a benzodiazepine and is not used for this purpose. Darifenacin is used for the treatment of overactive bladder. Trospium chloride (Sanctura) reduces the tone of the smooth muscle in the bladder.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Night blindness is characteristic of vitamin A deficiency. Mania and integumentary changes are not normally associated with this vitamin deficiency.
