Answer to Question 1

A
Some patients are too ill to participate in or complete the assessment interview. When this is the case, the interviewer uses objective data obtained from patient observation and the reports of family or others present at the time of admission. The other options do not reflect situations in which objective data have maximal value.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is estimated that more than 25 of all patients receiving antipsychotic medication experience akathisia, a subjective feeling of restlessness and jitteriness and a desire to stand or walk. Akathisia typically manifests itself early in treatment. The other options are not considered EPSEs.
