Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The atypical antipsychotics, such as olanzapine, are the drugs of choice, especially for patients who are newly diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
To minimize GI effects, the nurse encourages patients to distribute fat calories over the three main meals and to avoid high-fat meals. The fat content of a meat-laden pizza exceeds that of a Cobb salad, omelet, or bowl of chili.
