Question

A nurse and a nursing student are discussing the plan of care for a patient with schizophrenia. The patient, who has been taking a high-potency FGA for 2 months, has become restless and constantly needs to be in motion. Which statement by the student indicates a need for further education?

Answer 1

Due to their nature and consequences FGA's (First Generation Antipsychotics) are not recommended for first hand treatment for schizophrenic patients. The administration of FGA for two months indicates the need of further education about schizophrenic patients treatment and administration.
