Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has been prescribed prochlorperazine (Compazine) for postoperative nausea. Which of the following reported signs can indicate a potential complication of this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Restlessness. Prochlorperazine (Compazine) is an antipsychotic medication that can cause extrapyramidal symptoms, such as restlessness, dystonia, and akathisia. These symptoms can indicate a potential complication known as extrapyramidal side effects. Nausea, vomiting, and prolonged QT interval are not typically associated with prochlorperazine use. Restlessness is a common side effect that requires prompt assessment and possible intervention to prevent further complications.
