Question 1 of 5

A patient on the psychiatric unit took his first dose of chlorpromazine last night. The following morning, he approaches the nursing station complaining of severe spasms in his neck and back. The psych nurse informs the provider, and can expect an order for which medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Benztropine. The patient is experiencing acute dystonia, a common extrapyramidal side effect of first-generation antipsychotic medications like chlorpromazine. Benztropine is an anticholinergic medication that helps counteract these symptoms by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle movement. Olanzapine (
A) is an atypical antipsychotic and would not be the first choice for treating acute dystonia. Flumazenil (
B) is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist used for benzodiazepine overdose, not for dystonia. Fluphenazine (
C) is another first-generation antipsychotic and is not the preferred treatment for acute dystonia.
