yes i guess so maybe.......but it is so tempting to give him an antipsychotic...hehe
I guess even if the question isn't clear if there is h/o any recent agitation ....might as well just calm him down even if their question isn't so evident
ok Which antipsychotic wld u give him?

Well Basically...I am not sure about the test but this question doesn't indicate whether they want an answer as to a patient who is agitated or his long term treatment
for the long term treatment ...this is classical....and i am repeating again very very classical
Any psychotic patient with insomnia.....the answer wld be quetiapine or olanzapine cause their side effect is sedation.......
Previously when the old classical agents where popular Thioridazine with prominent sedative properties was given.........
But Resperidone has very minimal sedative property and shld be given to patients in which sedation is not favored
Hope that expalins it all
