B) This response may provide false reassurance to the client and does not address the potential impact of the antipsychotic on blood glucose levels. C) While providing education materials is helpful, it does not directly address the client's immediate concerns about blood glucose levels. D) This response acknowledges the client's concern and provides reassurance about the general tolerability of the medication, while also inviting further discussion to address the specific concern about blood glucose levels.
