The client states that he has not taken his antipsychotic drug for the past 2 weeks because it was causing sexual dysfunction. The nurse is aware that the name antipsychotic indicates that continuing the medication as prescribed is important because:

1. Hypertensive crisis may occur with abrupt withdrawal.

2. Muscle twitching may occur with abrupt withdrawal.

3. Parkinson-like symptoms will occur with withdrawal.

4. Symptoms of psychosis are likely to return if the medication is withdrawn.
