A client diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia is still withdrawn, unkempt, and unmotivated to get out of bed. A mental health aide asks the nurse why the client is this way after being on fluphenazine 10 mg for 7 days. The nurse should tell the health aide:


1. “Fluphenazine is most effective with the positive symptoms of schizophrenia.”


 2. “The client will be less withdrawn and unmotivated when the fluphenazine takes effect.”


3. “The client's fluphenazine dose probably needs to be increased again.”


4. “Lack of motivation is a common side effect of fluphenazine.”
