Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Haloperidol produces a relatively low incidence of hypotension and sedation and a high incidence of extrapyramidal effects. Haloperidol does not generally produce bradycardia, bradypnea, or hypoglycemia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Report blurring of vision, which could indicate retinal damage; loss of hearing or ringing in the ears, which could indicate central nervous system toxicity; and fever or worsening of condition, which could indicate a drug-resistant strain or noneffective therapy. Loss of appetite is such a common result of the gastrointestinal (GI) effects of the drug that the nurse should provide anticipatory guidance to teach the patient how to maintain adequate nutrition, but the patient does not need to report this unless it becomes serious or unmanageable. Loss of sensation is not a typical adverse effect the nurse would anticipate and teach about.
