Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia ¹. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain ¹. A therapeutic outcome for this medication would be a decrease in symptoms of schizophrenia such as delusional thinking and audiovisual hallucinations ¹.
Option A is not correct because orthostatic hypotension and sedation are side effects of risperidone, not therapeutic outcomes ¹.
Option C is not correct because restful sleep and increased coping abilities are not specific therapeutic outcomes for risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Option D is not correct because decreased anxiety and improved dietary habits are not specific therapeutic outcomes for risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia.

Intravenous (IV) administration of medication involves injecting the medication directly into a vein. This route of administration has the most rapid onset of action because the medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream and can be quickly distributed throughout the body.

Options a, b, and c are not correct because they do not have as rapid an onset of action as intravenous administration. Sublingual administration involves placing the medication under the tongue, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes. Intradermal administration involves injecting the medication into the top layer of the skin. Subcutaneous administration involves injecting the medication into the fat tissue just under the skin. While these routes can be effective for delivering medication, they do not have as rapid an onset of action as intravenous administration.
