Final Answer :
B, E
Explanation :
Stabilization is maximized by the adherence to the antipsychotic medication regimen. Because so many patients with schizophrenia smoke cigarettes, this topic relates directly to the patients' physiologic well-being. The other topics are also important but are not priority topics.
