Multiple Choice xx




1. The NURSE manager on the psychiatric unit was explaining to the new staff
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



the differences between typical and atypical antipsychotics. The NURSE correctly
x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



states that atypical antipsychotics:
x x x x x x xx




A. Remain in the system longer x x x x x x x x




B. Act more quickly to reduce delusions
xx xx x x xx x x




C. Produce fewer extrapyramidal effects
x x x x x x




D. Are risk free for neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




CORRECT qANSWER:C xx




Atypical antipsychotics produce less D2blockade; thus movement disorders are less of a
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



problem. No evidence suggests that the medication remains in the system longer nor that it acts more
x x x x xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx



quicklyto reduce delusions. The atypicals are not risk free for NMS.

2. The NURSE would assess for neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) if a

A. 30 mm Hg decrease in blood pressure reading

B. Respiratory rate of 24 respirations per minute x x x x x x x x x x x x




C. Temperature reading x x x x of 104° x x x x F

D. Pulse rate of 70 beats per minute
x x x x x x x x x x x x




CORRECT qANSWER:C xx




Increased temperature is the cardinal sign of NMS. This BP is not a significant feature of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



NMS. There are no significant findings to support the options related to respirations or
x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



pulse rate.
