Question 1 of 5

Your patient is experiencing extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) from antipsychotic therapy. You understand that the following medications are used to reverse EPS. (Select All that Apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,D

Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and D because they are commonly used medications to reverse extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) caused by antipsychotic therapy. Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine with anticholinergic properties that can help relieve EPS symptoms. Artane (Trihexyphenidyl) is an anticholinergic agent that can also alleviate EPS. Cogentin (Benztropine) is another anticholinergic medication used to treat EPS. Flumazenil is used to reverse benzodiazepine overdose, not EPS. Acetylcysteine is used as a mucolytic agent and for acetaminophen overdose, not for EPS.
