A client who received Prochlorperazine 4 hours ago reports spasms of his face. The nurse should anticipate a prescription for which of the following medications?

  • A. Fomepizole
  • B. Naloxone
  • C. Phytonadione
  • D. Diphenhydramine
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client's symptoms of face spasms after receiving Prochlorperazine indicate acute dystonia, a known side effect.
