Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a serious mental illness and has developed tardive dyskinesia from anti-psychotic medication use. Which of the following adverse effects from anti-psychotic medication use would be expected for the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Uncontrolled movements around the mouth. Tardive dyskinesia is a side effect associated with the long-term use of antipsychotic medications, especially first-generation or typical antipsychotics. It is characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements, often involving the face, such as uncontrolled movements around the mouth (e.g., lip smacking, puckering, chewing). Seizures and tremors are not typical adverse effects of tardive dyskinesia. They are more commonly associated with other side effects or conditions. Nausea and vomiting are not typically associated with tardive dyskinesia. These symptoms may be side effects of antipsychotic medications, but they are not characteristic of tardive dyskinesia itself. Hallucinations and delusions are not associated with tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia primarily involves involuntary movements and is not related to changes in thought content or perception.
