   2. A side effect of the antipsychotic medications.

Answer to Question 1

2
Feedback
1. Hallucinations would be auditory or visual in nature rather than giving the feeling of a swollen tongue.
2. These characteristics are common when taking antipsychotic medications.
3. These characteristics are indicative of a side effect, not a chronic state.
4. The patient is not demonstrating stiff muscle movement.

Answer to Question 2

3
Feedback
1. The consent can only come from a person of legal age.
2. The child gave permission, but the informed consent given by the parents does not become permission.
3. This child has emerging capacity to make informed health-care decisions on his own behalf and should be involved, but does not have ultimate control. Parental permission is followed by child assent.
4. One answer is correct.
