Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Social deterioration, disordered thinking (including delusions), disordered perception, (including hallucinations), and flight of ideas are symptoms of psychotic behavior. It is uncommon for a psychotic patient to maintain eye contact.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Acute dystonic reactions may be controlled by intramuscular injections of diphenhydramine. Haloperidol, aripiprazole, and risperidone are not used for dystonic reactions.
