The wife of a patient who is taking haloperidol calls the clinic and reports that her husband has taken the first dose of the drug and it is not having a therapeutic effect. An appropriate response by the nurse would be
 
  A) Continue the prescribed dose. It may take several days to work.
  B) I'll ask the nurse practitioner if the dosage can be increased.
  C) I'll ask the nurse practitioner if the haloperidol can be discontinued and another drug started.
  D) I'll report this to the nurse practitioner and see if he will add another drug to enhance the effects of the haloperidol.
