How often should a resident be evaluated for tardive dyskinesia when receiving psychoactive medications?

  1. Every 3 months

  2. Every 6 months

  3. Monthly

  4. Weekly

The correct answer is: Every 3 months

While there is no set standard in the medical community for how often a resident should be evaluated for tardive dyskinesia, it is generally recommended that evaluations be done every 3 months. This allows for frequent monitoring of symptoms and potential side effects of psychoactive medications. Options B, C, and D are all too frequent and may not be necessary for most residents unless there are specific concerns or risk factors present. Evaluating monthly or weekly may also put a strain on the resident and healthcare provider's time and resources. Therefore, every 3 months is a good balance for regular evaluations without being overly burdensome.
