A patient with schizophrenia who has received chlorpromazine (Thorazine) 200 mg PO four times daily for 4 weeks has symptoms of a shuffling, propulsive gait, a masklike face, and drooling.
 
  Which nursing response would be most appropriate? Select all that apply. a. Advise the patient to be patient, since these side effects are only temporary.
  b. Seek a physician order for a PRN IM antiparkinsonian medication.
  c. Suggest carrying a towel to catch any drool, and initiate fall precautions.
  d. Administer PRN trihexyphenidyl (Artane) PO to suppress the side effects.
  e. Suggest administering half the medicine in the morning and half at bedtime.
  f. Encourage the patient to be more physically active and facially expressive.
