Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with schizophrenia is on drug treatment (chlorpromazine) and states, "I recently started having muscle spasms in my face and neck." Which of the following is the nurse's best response?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I will notify the physician." This response is the best course of action because muscle spasms in the face and neck could be a sign of a serious side effect of chlorpromazine called tardive dyskinesia. It is important for the nurse to promptly inform the physician to evaluate the need for adjusting the medication or exploring alternative treatment options.
Choice B is incorrect as addiction is not a typical side effect of chlorpromazine.
Choice C is incorrect as muscle spasms are not a symptom of schizophrenia itself.
Choice D is incorrect as muscle spasms should not be considered normal while taking the drug.
