Answer to Question 1

A
A process recording is a tool for the nurse to learn about the effectiveness of communication and interventions during an interpersonal interaction. It is more than a verbatim record. It is for use by the nurse, rather than the interdisciplinary team. It is not placed into the medical record.

Answer to Question 2

A
These symptoms suggest the presence of tardive dyskinesia and should be reported to the health care provider, who will probably discontinue the drug or change to an atypical drug. The movements are involuntary. Tardive dyskinesia does not respond to anticholinergics.
