The nurse spends several sessions with a patient with paranoid schizophrenia and the patient's ...

The nurse spends several sessions with a patient with paranoid schizophrenia and the patient's family to help them understand the importance of antipsychotic medication in controlling his illness.

The patient repeatedly states he isn't sick and the pills make him stiff, and family members say he doesn't think the medication helps him. They indicate that their efforts to promote adherence only lead to a hostile response from the patient. Which options should the nurse discuss with the patient's prescribing provider? Select all that apply. a. Using a long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication
b. Adding medications to reduce the patient's side effects
c. Adding a benzodiazepine such as diazepam (Valium)
d. Tying medication use to meeting the patient's own goals
e. Increasing discussion and problem solving regarding side effects
f. Telling the patient he will get sick without the medicine
