Multiple Choice
1. The NURSE manager on the psychiatric unit was explaining to the new staff
the differences between typical and atypical antipsychotics. The NURSE correctly
states that atypical antipsychotics:
A. Remain in the system longer
B. Act more quickly to reduce delusions
C. Produce fewer extrapyramidal effects
D. Are risk free for neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
CORRECT ANSWER:C
Atypical antipsychotics produce less D2blockade; thus movement disorders are less of a
problem. No evidence suggests that the medication remains in the system longer nor that
it acts more quicklyto reduce delusions. The atypicals are not risk free for NMS.

C. Temperature reading of 104° F
D. Pulse rate of 70 beats per minute

NMS. There are no significant findings to support the options related to respirations or
pulse rate.
