| Clozaril Considerations | produces fewer traditional side effects than do most antipsychotic drugs, but it has the potentially fatal side effect of agranulocytosis (LOW WBC COUNT). This develops suddenly and is characterized by fever, malaise, ulcerative sore throat, and leukopenia |
| Seclusion | Safety for both the client and the nurse is the priority when providing care for the client with schizophrenia. The nurse must institute interventions to protect the client, nurse, and others in the environment. This may involve administering medication, moving the client to a quiet, less stimulating environment, and in extreme situations, temporarily using seclusion or restraints. |
| Risperdal Considerations | Watch for tardive dyskinesia. Drink plenty of fluids, especially in hot weather and during exercise. Oral solution should not be mixed with tea or cola. It may be taken with water, coffee, orange juice, or low-fat milk. You should avoid the use of alcohol. Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how this medicine will affect you. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. |
| Geodon Considerations | Some people may develop muscle related side effects. Most commonly tardive dyskinesia. symptoms include slow or jerky movements that one cannot control, often starting in the mouth with tongue rolling or chewing movements. |

| Command Hallucinations | Voices demanding that the client take action, often to harm self, or others. They are considered dangerous |
| Nurses Response to Delusions | Never convey you accept the delusions as reality, directly interject doubt regarding delusions as soon as the client seems ready to accept this, but do not argue. |
| Echolalia | Repetition or imitation of what someone else says. Like if the nurse says "can you tell me how you are feeling?" the client would respond "can you tell me how you're feel, how you're feeling?" |
| Antisocial Personality Disorder | Upright disregard for the rights of others, rules, and laws. Characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, deceit, and manipulation. Very superficial.
