A charge nurse in a mental health facility is teaching a newly licensed nurse how to perform an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) assessment on a client. The charge nurse should identify that the AIMS assessment is used for which of the following conditions?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tardive dyskinesia. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) assessment is used to evaluate abnormal involuntary movements, such as repetitive, involuntary movements of the face, limbs, and trunk. Tardive dyskinesia is a side effect of long-term use of antipsychotic medications, characterized by these involuntary movements. AIMS helps monitor and assess the severity of tardive dyskinesia in patients taking antipsychotic medications.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically relate to the purpose of the AIMS assessment. Opiate withdrawal (
A) is assessed using different tools, alcohol withdrawal (
