Answer to Question 1

C
Weight gain is one of the most troublesome adverse effects of atypical second-generation antipsychotics. In addition, there is also an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and enhanced cardiovascular risk. All of these complications are directly linked to each other.

Answer to Question 2

C
In addition to the diagnostic label, definition, and etiology, a NANDA diagnosis consists of the defining characteristics. The defining characteristics provide the observable criteria that must be present to make the diagnosis. For example, for the nursing diagnosis of hopelessness, the defining characteristics include passivity, decreased affect, and verbal cues.
