Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has schizophrenia and is taking haloperidol. The nurse should monitor for which of the following adverse effects of haloperidol?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Extrapyramidal symptoms. Haloperidol is a first-generation antipsychotic known to cause extrapyramidal symptoms such as dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia. Monitoring for these adverse effects is crucial as they can impact the client's quality of life and adherence to treatment. Fever (
A), intractable hiccups (
B), and excessive salivation (
C) are not common adverse effects of haloperidol. Extrapyramidal symptoms are a well-documented side effect of this medication, making option D the most appropriate choice for the nurse to monitor in this case.
