Answer to Question 1

C
Lithium, while not an antipsychotic, is often prescribed to clients who are psychotic and have mood disorders. However, care must be taken when a client is also taking an antipsychotic medication. Although rare, lithium and antipsychotics can interact in a manner that results in profound neurological impairment. As a result, the client taking both drugs must be closely monitored for any signs of neurological disorders.

Answer to Question 2

B
