B
Tardive dyskinesia is a neuroleptic-induced condition involving the face, trunk, and limbs.
Involuntary movements such as tongue thrusting; licking; blowing; irregular movements of the arms,
neck, and shoulders; rocking; hip jerks; and pelvic thrusts are seen. These symptoms are frequently
not reversible even when the drug is discontinued. The scenario does not present evidence consistent
with the other disorders mentioned. Option A: Agranulocytosis is a blood disorder. Option C:
Tourette's syndrome is a condition in which tics are present. Option D: Anticholinergic effects
include dry mouth, blurred vision, flushing, constipation, and dry eyes.
