AD Quiz: PsychosisA client with schizophrenia is given an antipsychotic drug. The nurse recalls all the extrapyramidal effects
associated with this type of medication and anticipates that the drug will be discontinued if which
occurs?
1
Akathisia
Correct2
Tardive dyskinesia
3
Parkinsonian syndrome
4
Acute dystonic reaction
Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by protrusion and vermicular movements of the tongue, chewing and
puckering movements of the mouth, and a puffing of the cheeks. These adverse effects may or may not
be reversible when the antipsychotic medication is withdrawn. Motor restlessness (akathisia),
parkinsonian symptoms, or an acute dystonic reaction can be treated with an antiparkinsonian or
anticholinergic drug while the antipsychotic medication is continued.

Underlying pathology
First-generation antipsychotic drugs are also known as neuroleptics. The selection of these drugs is
primarily based on side effects rather than therapeutic effects. Because all symptoms respond equally to
antipsychotic drugs, the drug selection may not be based on symptoms. Because these drugs do not
alter the underlying pathology, the selection may not be based on underlying pathology.

3.
On the afternoon of admission to a psychiatric unit, an adolescent boy with the diagnosis of
schizophrenia exposes his genitals to a female nurse. What should the nurse’s immediate therapeutic
response be?
1
Ignoring the client at this time
Correct2
Stating that this behavior is unacceptable
3
Moving him to his room for a short time-out
4
Telling the client to come to the office later to discuss the behavior
When clients enter a new milieu, limits should be set on unacceptable behavior and acceptable behavior
should be reinforced. Neither clients nor unacceptable behavior should ever be ignored. Moving the
client to his room for a short time-out is punishment. Unacceptable attention-getting behavior must be
addressed immediately; also, the focus should be on appropriate behavior.
Test-Taking Tip: If the question asks for an immediate action or response, all of the answers may be
correct, so base your selection on identified priorities for action.

Delusion

false sensory perception with no external stimulus.
