  Fill in the blank(s) with correct word

Question 2

During an admission assessment, a nurse assesses that a client diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorder has allergies to penicillin, prochlorperazine (Compazine), and bee stings.
 
  Based on this assessment data, which antipsychotic medication would be contraindicated? 1. Haloperidol (Haldol), because it is used only in older patients
  2. Clozapine (Clozaril), because it is incompatible with desipramine
  3. Risperidone (Risperdal), because it exacerbates symptoms of depression
  4. Thioridazine (Mellaril), because of cross-sensitivity among phenothiazines
