Answer to Question 1

D
Nursing interventions that have proven successful by research methods (evidence-based psychiatric nursing) should be the ones chosen for use by clinicians.

Answer to Question 2

B
The anticholinergic side effects most often associated with antipsychotic medications are blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, and urinary hesitancy. Anticholinergic drugs are most often used to treat movement disorders caused by medication. In addition, they are given along with antipsychotics to prevent neurological symptom development.
