A client is prescribed fluphenazine (Prolixin) and is experiencing muscle spasms of the neck. The client is grimacing and having difficulty speaking. Which action should the nurse take?
1. Call the health care provider and prepare to give chlorpromazine (Thorazine) IM.
2. Distract the client to confirm the client is not faking a muscle spasm.
3. Call the health care provider and prepare to give diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
4. Engage the client in open-ended conversation to find out why the client is having difficulty speaking.
