A nurse is caring for a patient with schizophrenia who is prescribed antipsychotic medications. Which statement is accurate regarding schizophrenia and medication treatment?
1. Typical antipsychotic medications block serotonin and dopamine.
2. Dopamine receptors exist in only one region of the brain, making treatment difficult.
3. Atypical antipsychotic medications cause fewer extrapyramidal side effects than traditional antipsychotic medications.
4. Positive symptoms of schizophrenia respond more readily to atypical antipsychotic medications than traditional medications.
