Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching for a client who has schizophrenia and a new prescription for fluphenazine. Which of the following information should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sleepiness should subside within a week. This information is important because fluphenazine can cause sedation as a common side effect. By informing the client that the sleepiness is expected to improve within a week, the nurse is preparing them for this potential side effect and reassuring them that it is temporary.
Choice B is incorrect as low-grade fever is not an expected side effect of fluphenazine.
Choice C is incorrect because hypotension is not a common side effect that would necessitate stopping the medication.
Choice D is incorrect as fluphenazine does not typically cause urine discoloration.
