Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Common side effects of antipsychotic medications include dizziness, drowsiness, tachycardia, hypotension, and extrapyramidal effects, such as abnormal movements and seizures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A multidisciplinary conference is necessary for coordination of care for children with complex health needs. The family is included, along with key health professionals who are involved in the child's care. The nursing staff can address the child's nursing care needs with the family, but other involved disciplines must be included. The family must be included in the discharge conferences, which allows them to determine what education they will require and the resources needed at home. A member of the nursing staff must be included to review the child's nursing needs.
