Question 1 of 5

A patient states to the nurse, 'I have no idea what typical antipsychotics but now I've been asked to take them.' What symptoms should the nurse be prepared to discuss with the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dry mouth and blurry vision. Typical antipsychotics are known to cause anticholinergic side effects like dry mouth and blurry vision. Dry mouth is due to the medication's ability to block acetylcholine, leading to reduced salivary gland secretion. Blurry vision results from antipsychotics' effects on the eye's muscarinic receptors. Delirium and anxiety (choice
A) are not typical side effects of typical antipsychotics. Dysrhythmia and headache (choice
C) are also not commonly associated with this medication class. Diarrhea and flatus (choice
D) are more commonly seen with gastrointestinal medications rather than antipsychotics.
