ANS: A
The patient and family must be aware of signs of impending relapse. These signs are usually similar to those that the patient experienced prior to hospitalization and will be pa-tient-specific. The nurse should be notified ASAP, rather than waiting two weeks. Patients should never adjust medication dosage. Street drug use often precipitates relapse since many street drugs are dopaminergic.
