    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a female client who is prescribed chlorpromazine. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Chlorpromazine can cause menstrual irregularities, but the expected effect is amenorrhea or decreased frequency, not increased frequency. This statement does not reflect accurate understanding. Choice B reason: Antipsychotics like chlorpromazine can actually increase risk of infection due to agranulocytosis or leukopenia. Saying risk is decreased shows misunderstanding. Choice C reason: Difficulty urinating is a possible anticholinergic side effect of chlorpromazine. Contacting the provider demonstrates correct understanding and appropriate action. Choice D reason: Chlorpromazine can cause gynecomastia (breast tissue enlargement), not atrophy. This statement is inaccurate.
