The nurse is administering medications to a client with a diagnosis of depression. The nurse would expect to see which medication was ordered for this client.

Choice A rationale: absence of physical and mental movement refers to catatonia that can occur in severe depression or schizophrenia.
Choice B rationale: akinesia refers to the absence of voluntary movement and can be seen in individuals with Parkinson’s disease or as a side effect of some antipsychotic medications.
Choice C rationale: these are signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia which is a serious side effect of antipsychotic therapy resulting from the damage of nerve cells controlling movement and is irreversible especially when detected late.
Choice D rationale: this refers to dystonia which is a condition characterized by abnormal muscle tone resulting in painful muscle spasms and abnormal postures. This is a side effect of some antipsychotic medications.

Choice A rationale: this response is dismissive and invalidating since it suggests that anger is a normal and expected feeling hence the client should not feel bad about it.
Choice B rationale: this statement is presumptuous and doesn’t offer help to the patient. Furthermore, the care provider should understand that everyone’s experience and reaction after a divorce is different.
Choice C rationale: this statement empathizes with the client’s feelings and emotions without making them feel judged and guilty for expressing their emotions. It also allows the client to share more about their experience if she wishes.
Choice D rationale: this response is very unrealistic and disrespectful since it does not address the patient’s feelings and emotions about the divorce but instead it tries to impose a positive outlook on her.
