Question 1 of 5

A client is given a prescription for an antipsychotic medication. The nurse instructs the client and family to report any signs/symptoms of pseudoparkinsonism and tells the family to monitor for what effects indicative of this medication complication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pseudoparkinsonism is a common extrapyramidal side effect of antipsychotic medications. This condition is characterized by a stooped posture, a shuffling gait, a masklike facial appearance, drooling, tremors, and pill-rolling motions of the fingers. Hyperpyrexia is characteristic of the extrapyramidal side effect of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Motor restlessness, aphasia, muscle weakness, and decreased salivation are not characteristic of pseudoparkinsonism.
