A client diagnosed with bulimia nervosa is to receive fluoxetine (Prozac) by oral solution. The medication is supplied in a 100-ml bottle. The label reads 20 mg/5mL.. The doctor orders 60 mg q day. Which dose of this medication should the nurse dispense?

A. "Group therapy is an economical way of providing therapy to many clients concurrently.": While this statement may be true, it does not directly address the client's concerns or provide information about the voluntary nature of group participation.

B. "Group therapy is optional. You can go if you find the topic helpful and interesting.": This is the correct answer. Acknowledging the client's autonomy and providing information about the voluntary aspect of group therapy respects the client's preferences and promotes a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

C. "Group therapy is mandatory. All clients must attend.": This statement is more authoritarian and does not take into account the individual needs and preferences of the client. It is important to involve clients in decisions about their treatment whenever possible.

D. "The purpose of group therapy is to learn and practice new coping skills.": While this statement provides information about the purpose of group therapy, it does not directly address the client's question about the optional nature of attendance.

A. Dry mouth and urinary retention: These symptoms are not typically associated with the side effects of clozapine. Dry mouth is a common side effect of many antipsychotic medications, but urinary retention is not a typical side effect of clozapine.

B. Akinesia and insomnia: Akinesia (lack of movement) is not a common side effect of clozapine. Insomnia can occur with various antipsychotic medications but does not typically warrant immediate intervention unless severe or persistent.

C. Sore throat, fever, and malaise: These symptoms can indicate a potentially serious side effect known as agranulocytosis, which is a significant reduction in white blood cell count. Clozapine is associated with an increased risk of agranulocytosis. If a client experiences symptoms such as sore throat, fever, or malaise, it may indicate a severe drop in white blood cell count, and immediate medical attention is necessary.

D. Akathisia and hypersalivation: Akathisia (restlessness) is a known side effect of antipsychotic medications, but it is not typically associated with immediate severe medical risks. Hypersalivation is a common side effect but does not usually require immediate intervention unless severe.
