Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who was admitted with acute psychosis and is being treated with haloperidol. The nurse should suspect that the client may be experiencing tardive dyskinesia when the client exhibits which of the following? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: The correct answer is A, D, and E. Tardive dyskinesia is a side effect of long-term antipsychotic use like haloperidol, characterized by involuntary movements. Involuntary pelvic rocking and hip thrusting (
A), tongue thrusting and lip smacking (
D), and facial grimacing and eye blinking (E) are common manifestations of tardive dyskinesia. These movements are repetitive and often involve the face, lips, tongue, and trunk. Urinary retention and constipation (
B) are not typical symptoms of tardive dyskinesia. Fine hand tremors and pill rolling (
C) are more indicative of Parkinsonism, another side effect of antipsychotics.
