Which drug is preferred for patients with a history of movement disorders?

  1. Paliperidone

  2. Risperidone

  3. Quetiapine

  4. Olanzapine

The correct answer is: Quetiapine

Quetiapine is known to have a lower likelihood of causing movement disorders in patients with a history of such issues. Paliperidone, risperidone, and olanzapine are all antipsychotic medications that have been associated with higher rates of movement disorders, such as tardive dyskinesia, in patients with a history of movement disorders. Therefore, they would not be the preferred choice for these patients.
