patient is also overweight. Which drug should the nurse advocate?
a. Clozapine
b. Ziprasidone
c. Olanzapine
d. Aripiprazole - ANSWER: d. Aripiprazole
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic medication that is effective against both positive and
negative symptoms of schizophrenia. It causes little or no weight gain and no increase in
glucose, high- or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, or triglycerides, making it a reasonable
choice for a patient with obesity or heart disease. Clozapine may produce
agranulocytosis, making it a poor choice as a first-line agent. Ziprasidone may prolong the QT
interval, making it a poor choice for a patient with cardiac disease. Olanzapine fosters weight
gain.

Physiological needs must be met to preserve life. A patient who is catatonic may need to be

integrity. The assessment findings do not suggest safety concerns. Higher-level needs
(psychosocial and self-actualization) are of lesser concern.
