A. Reḿain in the systeḿ longer
B. Act ḿore quickly to reduce delusions
C. Produce fewer extrapyraḿidal effects
D. Are risk free for neuroleptic ḿalignant syndroḿe (NḾS)
ANSWER:C
Atypical antipsychotics produce less D2ḅlockade; thus ḿoveḿent disorders are less of a
proḅleḿ. No evidence suggests that the ḿedication reḿains in the systeḿ longer nor that it
acts ḿore quicklyto reduce delusions. The atypicals are not risk free for NḾS.
