Hi everyone, hoping you've all been well. So, I was reviewing a patient chart, and noticed for a dementia patient, he was prescribed 2mg Haldol IM, and 1mg Cogentin IM. For you psych nurses, or general nurses that have come across this situation before, does that seem like a lot of haldol for a non violent psychosis patient ? I know he was having delusions of his deceased wife needing to be picked up from work (poor guy). Part 2: Also, I would imagine this is a one time thing, I read symptoms should improve in 2 weeks. I read there's also tablet form haldol to help maintain patient from psychosis, but not thrilled about this med being given long term for elderly patient.,.,.,.,.

hi, did you take this exam yet? I am preparing for it now and feel the information is so scattered. Is there a certain area I should focus on that you recall? thank you so much.

Hi Tasha, I'm not sure how to private message on here. But I'd be interested in those links, I take my exam in a few days and find the information so scattered. Im curious if those video lesson services worked for you. I need all the help I can get. thanks
