The family of a patient who was prescribed
 
  chlorpromazine (Thorazine) report that the patient continually rolls his tongue and smacks his lips. What is your best action?
  a. Reassure the patient and family that this response is an expected side effect of the drug.
  b. Instruct the family to ensure that the patient drinks plenty of fluids and performs oral hygiene at least three times daily.
  c. Instruct the family to hold the next dose of the drug and have the patient seen by the prescriber as soon as possible.
  d. Emphasize the family that this drug cannot be stopped quickly and to gradually reduce the dose over a 2- to 3-week period.
