Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the client for mouth dryness. Antipsychotic drugs cause hypotension, not hypertension. Skin dryness and bradycardia are not adverse reactions related to the administration of antipsychotic drugs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
The signs of EPS include fine tremors, muscle rigidity, mask-like appearance of the face, slowness of movement, slurred speech, unsteady gait, akathisia, and dystonia. Anhedonia is a manifestation of schizophrenia.
