If a patient has cardiac or QT risk, which drug should they avoid?

  1. Aripiprazole

  2. Asenapine

  3. Ziprasidone

  4. Quetiapine

The correct answer is: Ziprasidone

The correct answer is Ziprasidone. This is because both cardiac and QT risks refer to a patient's heart health. Aripiprazole, Asenapine, and Quetiapine are also antipsychotic medications, but they do not specifically have cardiovascular effects. This means that a patient who has cardiac or QT risk would not necessarily need to avoid these drugs. However, Ziprasidone has been known to cause changes in a patient's heart rhythm, which could be dangerous for someone with existing cardiac or QT issues. Therefore, it would be best for them to avoid taking this medication.
