Question

Match List I (Clinical Condition) with List II (Drug Management) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists:

List I (Clinical Condition)	List II (Drug Management)
A. Delirium	1. Risperidone
B. Alzheimer's disease	2. Donepezil
C. Schizophrenia	3. Benzodiazepines
D. Acute extrapyramidal symptoms in a schizophrenic patient under treatment	4. Haloperidol

• A. A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
• B. A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4
• C. A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3

Hint:

Match Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia to their drugs first, then see what is left for the other two.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Rather than checking each coded option against the table, build the pairing from scratch and see which code matches it.

1. A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4: matches the direct pairing, delirium with benzodiazepines, Alzheimer's disease with donepezil, schizophrenia with risperidone, and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms with haloperidol by elimination, so this is correct.
2. A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4: wrong, because it hands Alzheimer's disease the antipsychotic risperidone and gives schizophrenia the anti-dementia drug donepezil, which reverses the two correct pairs.
3. A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3: wrong for the same reason as above, and additionally swaps delirium and the extrapyramidal-symptom entry.

Correct answer: A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
