Answer to Question 1

D
Clients must be protected from the embarrassing consequences of their poor judgment whenever
possible. Protecting the client from public exposure by matter-of-factly covering the client and
removing her from the area with a sufficient number of staff to avoid argument and provide control
is an effective approach.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Medication that blocks dopamine is often seen to produce disturbances of movement such as
akathisia because dopamine affects neurons involved in both thought processes and movement
regulation. Option B: Anticholinergic effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention,
and constipation. Options C and D: Akathisia is not caused by endocrine stimulation or spinal nerve
stimulation.
