Ans: A
Medication management focuses on treating the underlying psychiatric disorder. For depression, a nonlethal antidepressant (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) usually is prescribed. For clients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, antipsychotics may be used; however, only clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic, has been shown to be effective.
