Question 1 of 5
All of the following are second generation antipsychotics except
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: haloperidol (Haldol). Haloperidol is a first-generation antipsychotic, not a second-generation one. Second-generation antipsychotics, such as ziprasidone, risperidone, and olanzapine, have a lower risk of causing movement disorders compared to first-generation ones. Haloperidol is known for its higher risk of extrapyramidal side effects, characteristic of first-generation antipsychotics. Thus, the key to answering this question is recognizing the classification of antipsychotics and their respective generations.
