Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Evolutionary events in the development of psychotropic drugs changed the care environment for patients with mental illness and had significant effects on the nurse's role.

Answer to Question 2

B
Risk factors for EPSEs include female gender, first episode of schizophrenia, and use of a traditional antipsychotic medication. The other patients are at lower or no risk because of taking an atypical antipsychotic, a tricyclic antidepressant, and an antianxiety drug. Men are at lower risk.
