Rationale: Antipsychotic drugs such as risperiodne
(Risperdal) treat the positive and negative effects
of the underlying mental disorder.A decrease in
delusional thinking, lessened hallucinations, and
overall improvement in mental thought processes
should be noted. Improvement in sleep patterns,
anxiety, and nutrition may be noted as secondary
effects of treatment of the underlying thought
disorder. Orthostatic

Question 6 – Rationale
Rationale: Acute dystonias are
characterized by acute spasms of the face,
tongue, neck, or back. Dry mouth,
constipation, and blurred vision are adverse
effects related to anticholinergic activity.
Pacing and squirming are signs of akathisia,
and bradykinesia and tremors are symptoms
of pseudoparkinsonism.

Causes of Schizophrenia
• Cause yet to be determined
– Genetic
– Neurotransmitter imbalance
• Symptoms seem to be associated with
dopamine type 2 receptor in brain
– Antipsychotic drugs enter dopaminergic
synapses and compete with dopamine

Patient Drug Compliance
• Goal is to reduce psychotic symptoms so
patients have ability to self-care
• Drugs do not cure mental illness
• Patients must continue drug regimen to
remain in remission
– Relapse rate for those who discontinue
medication is 60% to 80%
