A patient diagnosed with schizophrenia has had multiple relapses. The patient usually responds quickly to antipsychotic medication but soon discontinues the medication. Discharge plans include follow-up at the mental health center, group home placement, and a psychosocial day program. Which strategy should apply as the patient transitions from hospital to community?
a.   Administer a second-generation antipsychotic to help negative symptoms.
b.   Use a quick-dissolving medication formulation to reduce "cheeking."
c.   Prescribe a long-acting intramuscular antipsychotic medication.
d.   Involve the patient in decisions about which medication is best.
