  1. Demonstrate a brighter mood
  2. Be less sedated and drowsy
  3. Display fewer movement disorder symptoms
  4. Display decreased anticholinergic symptoms

Question 2

The nurse notes that a client who has been receiving paroxetine (Paxil) for symptoms of major depression and whose sensorium had been clear begins to behave as though somewhat confused and elated.
 
  The nurse also notes the presence of restlessness, muscle jerking, and diaphoresis. The nurse should assess these symptoms as probable:
  1. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
  2. Anticholinergic blockade
