Question 1 of 5

A client with psychosis who is receiving an antipsychotic medication is continually rubbing the back of the neck. Which nursing intervention is best for the nurse to implement? Which nursing intervention is best for the nurse to implement?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rubbing the back of the neck suggests extrapyramidal side effects (EPS), such as dystonia, from the antipsychotic medication. Benztropine, an anticholinergic, counteracts EPS by reducing muscle stiffness and spasms, providing rapid relief. Other interventions like heating pads or pillows may offer comfort but do not address the underlying EPS cause, and physical therapy is not an acute solution.
