Test 5 Question 3. While working in the emergency room you evaluate a patient with confusion, myoclonus, diarrhea, hypotension, tachycardia, and a normal creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level. The patient is not speaking. His family tells you that he was recently started on a new medication by his psychiatrist for treatment of bipolar disorder. They don’t know the name of the medication or what kind of medication it was. Using your astute clinical skills and significant psychiatric knowledge you narrow the diagnosis down to either neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) or serotonin syndrome. But alas, you must pick one diagnosis for the medical record. Which one will it be and why?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • NMS because the patient is confused

  • NMS because rigidity is more commonly part of serotonin syndrome

  • Serotonin syndrome because it commonly presents with hypotension

  • NMS because it usually presents with normal CPK

  • Serotonin syndrome because it more commonly presents with myoclonus and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms
