A nurse on an inpatient unit is caring for a client who has somatic symptom disorder. The client comes to the nurse's station and reports chest pain. The nurse knows this is a new symptom for the client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. "My ex-partner constantly makes fun of my weight." This statement reflects emotional abuse, as body-shaming can damage self-esteem and create feelings of worthlessness. Constant criticism about appearance is a form of psychological manipulation and control.
B. "My ex-partner tells me that I can't do anything right." Emotional abusers often undermine their victims’ confidence by making them feel incompetent or incapable. This type of verbal degradation can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, and depression.
C. "I recently was promoted at work but now I'm unable to work with the same coworkers I was used to working with." While workplace changes can be stressful, this does not indicate emotional abuse. There is no mention of manipulation, belittlement, or control by another person.
D. "I am newly divorced and a single parent." Divorce and single parenting can be challenging, but they do not inherently signify emotional abuse. Emotional abuse involves a pattern of controlling, belittling, or manipulative behavior from another individual.
E. "I suppose I really do need to be on medication, like my ex-partner said." This statement suggests that the ex-partner may have manipulated the client into doubting their own mental stability. Gaslighting—making someone question their own reality—is a common tactic in emotional abuse.
F. "My friend recently passed away." Grief can contribute to emotional distress, but the loss of a friend does not indicate emotional abuse. Emotional abuse involves deliberate psychological harm from another person.

A. Nausea and vomiting. While some antipsychotic medications may cause gastrointestinal side effects, nausea and vomiting are not characteristic of tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia specifically affects involuntary motor control.
B. Hallucinations and delusions. These are symptoms of psychotic disorders, not side effects of tardive dyskinesia. While some antipsychotic medications can cause paradoxical worsening of psychosis, tardive dyskinesia primarily involves involuntary movements rather than psychiatric symptoms.
C. Seizures and tremors. Some antipsychotics lower the seizure threshold, increasing seizure risk, while tremors are more associated with drug-induced parkinsonism. However, these are different from the repetitive, involuntary movements seen in tardive dyskinesia.
D. Uncontrolled movements around the mouth. Tardive dyskinesia is a serious side effect of long-term antipsychotic use, characterized by involuntary movements, especially around the mouth, tongue, and face (e.g., lip smacking, tongue protrusion, and grimacing). These movements can become permanent, making early detection and intervention crucial.
