Answer to Question 1

A
Clozapine differs from the traditional neuroleptics because it is more effective with some populations than are the older classic neuroleptic drugs. Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic medication and addresses both the negative and positive symptoms of schizophrenia. However, clozapine occasionally and unpredictably causes severe agranulocytosis (reduction in the number of white blood cells).

Answer to Question 2

D
The best nursing intervention to enhance the development of an adolescent is for the nurse to remain nonjudgmental when the adolescent expresses feelings. By remaining nonjudgmental, the nurse is demonstrating caring and presence. The nurse is also demonstrating that he or she can be trusted, a major component of the therapeutic nurse-client relationship.
