Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has schizophrenia and has been on long-term treatment with chlorpromazine. He notes the client is experiencing some involuntary movements of the tongue and face. The nurse should suspect the client has developed which of the following adverse effects?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tardive dyskinesia. This is a common adverse effect of long-term antipsychotic use, such as chlorpromazine, characterized by involuntary movements of the tongue and face.

B) presents with tremors and rigidity. Akathisia (choice
