The nurse has completed diet education for a group of patients who are receiving antipsychotic medications. If the medication education has been effective, patients will eliminate what choice from their menu selection?
1. Meats with a high-fat content
2. Beverages with caffeine
3. Refined breads and desserts
4. Shellfish and peanuts
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The use of caffeine-containing substances will decrease the effect of antipsychotic medications. Although unhealthy, high-fat meats do not affect the action of antipsychotic medications. Although unhealthy, refined breads and desserts do not affect the action of antipsychotic medications. Many individuals are allergic to shellfish and peanuts, but they do not affect the action of antipsychotic medications.
