Answer to Question 1

A
General nursing interventions for the negative symptoms include establishing trust and teaching the patient and family how to manage the signs and symptoms. An attitude of acceptance is ne-cessary to promote trust.

Risperidone (Risperdal) is a newer generation of atypical antipsychotic medications that is known for having fewer serious side effects, such as tardive dyskinesia, but they still have sig-nificant effects.
