Antipsychotic for dementia-related aggressive behavior


Question: A resident at a long-term care facility has been ordered an antipsychotic for dementia-related aggressive behavior. What element(s) should the nurse consider in administering this medication related to effects and use? Select all that apply. The resident must be monitored by the nurse for antipsychotic toxic effects. The resident should become less aggressive in about 4 to 6 weeks. The aggression may stem from interactions with other medications ordered. Due to lower body fat ratios in older adults, the resident may become toxic. A lower dose may be needed to obtain the desired effect to decrease aggression.
