Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Monitoring for neuroleptic syndrome is a priority nursing consideration for a client taking risperidone (Risperdal). The nurse must monitor for signs and symptoms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome and tardive dyskinesia and immediately report signs and symptoms of these conditions. Monitoring for increased agitation and assessing for drowsiness are nursing considerations for clients taking Risperdal, but they are not the priority diagnosis. Assessing blood pressure and heart rate would be a priority nursing consideration for the client taking Inderal.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Anorexia nervosa is most prevalent among non-Hispanic Caucasian adolescents. Bulimia nervosa is most prevalent among Hispanic adolescents.
