Q. A client has a history of chronic undifferentiated schizophrenia.
Because she has a history of noncompliance with antipsychotic therapy, she’ll receive fluphenazine decanoate (Prolixin Decanoate) injections every 4 weeks. Before discharge, what should the nurse include in her teaching plan?
Post your answer in the comment section.
- Asking the physician for droperidol (Inapsine) to control any extrapyramidal symptoms that occur
- Sitting up for a few minutes before standing to minimize orthostatic hypotension
- Notifying the physician if her thoughts don’t normalize within 1 week
- Expecting symptoms of tardive dyskinesia to occur and to be transient
