1. What is EPS? Extrapyramidal symp-
toms...a group of side
effects associated with
antipsychotic medications.
EPS include parkinsonism,
akathisia, dystonia, and
tardive dyskinesia
2. Motivation is a component of patient-focused inter- contemplation
ventions to enhance adherence. Based on the trans-
theoretical model, readiness to change can fluctuate
across five stages. Which stage is represented by the
patient who is aware that a problem exists and, while
seriously thinking about overcoming it, has not yet
committed to a plan of action?
3. Introducing adherence in facilitating treatment goals false It is introduced as
is something that would be necessary in a patient who early as possible in treat-
has previously displayed nonadherence patterns. ment to mitigate the risks
associated with nonadher-
ence.
4. When dopamine (subtype 2) receptors are blocked in Nigrostriatal
this pathway (system), it is evident by EPS.
5. Neurotransmitters are defined by four essential char- a,c,d
acteristics. These are

A.Neurotransmitters are synthesized within presynap-
tic neurons.
B. Depolarization of a neuron results in the release of a
neurotransmitter, which exerts a multitude of actions
on the postsynaptic neuron.
C. Their action on postsynaptic neurons can be repli-
cated by administering a drug that mimics the activity
of the endogenous neurotransmitter.
D. Their action in the synaptic cleft is terminated by a
specific action.

best characterizes the order of neurotransmitter/re-
ceptor interaction that results in an electrical signal
impulse and the release of another neurotransmitter
for interaction in the synaptic cleft (signal conduction
through a neuron)?
7. Neurons are classified in several different ways. From Statement 2 would need to
the following statements, select which ones are true. include modulatory func-
