Nice!
I want to use these NBME questions to focus my reading on those high yield questions, just now I read all antipsychotics and side effects.
In my feedback, A was the answer, so we are cool with this
This pt most likely received Haloperidol shot (High potency antipsychotic) and is currently having EPS like Akathisia, feelings of restlessness, alternating sitting positions, unable to sit still.
When patients present these symptoms, the next step is to lower the antipsychotic and add beta blockers or benzodiazepine.
