Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Community-based care for those with schizophrenia includes assertive community treatment, intensive case management, ongoing medication management, and housing, rehabilitation, social, and vocational supports. Follow-up should be more frequent than monthly. Occupational therapy and boundary setting are less important than thorough case management.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Atypical antipsychotics relieve both the positive and negative symptoms (eg, alogia, affective blunting, avolition, anhedonia, and attentional impairment) of schizophrenia and are less likely to cause distressing extrapyramidal side effects typically seen with traditional antipsychotics.
