NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 43: Schizophrenia Spectrum and Psychotic Disorders: Positive and Negative Symptoms and Nursing Interventions

Sarah Mitchell sorts the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, then teaches the exact way to respond to hallucinations and delusions without arguing or agreeing. She walks through the four phases of the illness, first versus second generation antipsychotics, the timeline of extrapyramidal effects, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and clozapine monitoring, and works two scenarios, a command hallucination and a feverish, rigid patient on fluphenazine.
