Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has schizophrenia and is prescribed risperidone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rise slowly from a sitting position. This instruction is crucial because risperidone can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness or fainting when standing up quickly. By rising slowly, the client can minimize the risk of falls. Avoiding direct sunlight (
A) is not directly related to risperidone use. Taking the medication on an empty stomach (
C) is not necessary for risperidone. Expecting weight loss (
D) is not a common side effect of risperidone; in fact, weight gain is more common.
