A client who is agitated and assaultive and unable to be verbally de-escalated is on the inpatient unit. The doctor ordered medications for the nurse to administer to the client. Which medication would the nurse question?

a. "You feel that your mother does not want you to come back home?" This response uses reflection, a therapeutic communication technique, to encourage the client to express and explore their feelings further.
b. "It's quite common for clients to feel that way after a lengthy hospitalization." While this normalizes the client's feelings, it might dismiss the client's unique emotional experience and does not invite further exploration.
c. "Why don't you talk to your mother? You may find out she doesn't feel that way." This response provides a solution but does not address the client's current emotional state or encourage them to express their feelings.
d. "Your mother seems like an understanding person. I'll help you approach her." This response makes an assumption about the mother and shifts the focus away from the client’s feelings.

a. "I am less likely to get an infection while taking this medication." This statement is incorrect. Chlorpromazine can actually increase the risk of infection due to potential side effects like agranulocytosis (a drop in white blood cell count).
b. "Weight loss is a sign that my medication dose is too low." This statement is incorrect. Chlorpromazine typically causes weight gain rather than weight loss.
c. "I will contact my healthcare provider if I have difficulty urinating." This statement indicates an understanding of one of the potential side effects of chlorpromazine, which can cause urinary retention due to its anticholinergic properties.
d. "I will stop taking this medication once my hallucinations go away." This statement is incorrect. Discontinuing antipsychotic medication without a healthcare provider's guidance can lead to a relapse of symptoms.
