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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Uncontrolled movements around the mouth. Tardive dyskinesia is a serious side effect of long-term antipsychotic medication use, characterized by involuntary movements of the face, tongue, and limbs. This aligns with the presentation of uncontrolled movements around the mouth. Hallucinations and delusions (
A) are symptoms of the mental illness itself and not directly related to tardive dyskinesia. Nausea and vomiting (
B) are common side effects of antipsychotic medications but not specific to tardive dyskinesia. Seizures and tremors (
C) are not typically associated with tardive dyskinesia.
