Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a patient who has schizophrenia and is taking aripiprazole. The nurse should notify the provider of which of the following findings? Which finding should the nurse report for aripiprazole?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Muscle stiffness. Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic that can cause extrapyramidal symptoms, including muscle stiffness. This side effect can be a sign of a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome. The nurse should report this finding promptly to the provider for further evaluation and management. Constipation (
A), weight gain (
B), and insomnia (
C) are common side effects of aripiprazole but are not as urgent or indicative of a potentially serious condition compared to muscle stiffness.
