Medications for dementia or for pregnancy and breast feeding?

Please somebody explain me why this drugs were in the Monthly Prescription Summary (my husband is in a nursing home): Tamsulosin HCL, Quetiapine Fumarate, Metoprolol Tartrate, and Olanzapine. I looked in Internet and all of them are for pregnancy and breast feeding? Did I read it wrong? Please correct me.

Quetiapine is Seroquel, used for bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses, and recommended by some experts for treating Lewy Body Dementia.

Metoprolol is a high blood pressure/heart disease medication.

I don't know about the other two, but a good place to look up drugs (and herbal supplements) is the National Institutes of Health website Medline.
