Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking chlorpromazine. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,C

Rationale: The correct answer, indicated as A, C.
Rationale: Impaired gait is a classic extrapyramidal symptom, which includes issues like dystonia or bradykinesia. Fidgeting behavior is more related to anxiety or restlessness rather than EPS. Muscle contractions of the neck, known as torticollis, are common signs of EPS caused by antipsychotic medications such as chlorpromazine. Fluctuating vital signs are not directly linked to EPS but may indicate another underlying issue. Sexual dysfunction is a side effect of chlorpromazine but not classified as an EPS.
