Psychotic drugs

Next week will be hell week for me with the case presentation and five I.C.U articles to be passed plus the prelims scheduled on Thursday and Friday and two comprehensive exams on Wednesday. This made me remember I haven't paid my tuition fee yet...hala lagot!! Well, never mind that would be easy to deal with. What's bothering me is how will I be able to memorize bunch of psychotic drugs. Thankfully, our Psych instructor came up with a plan... Just like mnemonics, it will be helpful for us to incorporate the drugs in a song.

Side effect and Nsg. Intervention of the drugs
(Tune of Way Back into love)

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
side effect of
antipsychotic drugs

akathisia, sedation and dreams away
Anticholinergic signs dry mouth, blurred vision
constipation sometimes
and orthostatic… hypotension

All we want to do is find a way to normal
we can't make it through without these antipsychotic
(oh oh oh)
drugs….

Dystonic reaction, Tardive dyskinesia
neuroleptic induced parkinsonism
I know that it's out there
photosensitivity, wt. gain, seizure

I've been looking for nursing intervention
administer medication as ordered
assess for effectiveness
reassure client if frightened

All we want to do is find a way to normal
we can't make it through without these antipsychotic
And use hard candy for relief
increase fluid and dietary fiber intake

Oh oh oh

encourage balance diet and exercise
stop all antipsychotic medication
notify physician
Not just another negotiation...
