  2. Falls and choking risk are increased by psychiatric medications.
  3. Older adults are less prone to side effects than other age groups.
  4. Standard adult dosages are well tolerated by older adults.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Psychiatric medications can cause extrapyramidal symptoms such as dystonias, akathisia, tremors, or pseudoparkinsonism, which can cause greater risk for falling or choking. Older adults are more vulnerable to side effects and cannot tolerate standard adult dosages as well as other adults. Sedation is not a desirable side effect unless sleep is an issue because it can lead to falls, confusion, and decreased social interaction.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Psychoanalytic theory considers eating disorders to be systematic of unconscious conflicts. Psychoanalytic theory relates eating disorders to regression to prepuberty and repudiation of developing sexuality. Clients with anorexia are hypothesized to fear sexual maturity and the budding physical changes that accompany puberty.
