Answer to Question 1

A, B, C

Answer to Question 2

C
By blocking dopamine, antipsychotic medications produce extrapyramidal side effects. Akathisia is internal or external restless fidgeting or pacing. Patients with akathisia demonstrate motoric restlessness and complain of feeling their muscles quiver. When this condition has advanced, the patient will say that he or she is not able to sit still or lie down quietly. The nurse will want to observe whether the patient's legs are shaking. If the patient's feet are not shaking, the nurse will observe that his or her arms will start to shake. The therapeutic treatment is the administration of anticholinergic agents, such as benztropine (Cogentin), trihexyphenidyl (Artane), or procyclidine (Kemadrin). Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), an antihistamine, also may be administered. The other three medication selections are antipsychotic agents: Zyprexa, an atypical antipsychotic; Moban, an antipsychotic (dihydroindolone); and Mellaril (phenothiazine), a typical antipsychotic.
