 The client may be suffering from a neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) which is a reaction to his antipsychotic medication. NMS is rare but
life-threatening and is characterized by high fever, muscular rigidity(that's why he can't move his arm), altered mental status hyperthermia, and autonomic dysfunction.

Since is life-threatening, it requires immediate treatment.

In a patient presenting with high fever with neurologic deficits (in this case, the paresis of the right arm), with a significant drug history involving anti-psychotic medications for schizophrenia, the most probable impression will be cause and effect. The patient's presentation may be linked to the intake of antipsychotic medications. In this particular case, there is a phenomenon called Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome or NMS. In patients experiencing NMS, the most common set of clinical manifestation include extrapyramidal effects (i.e. paresis of limbs), hyperthermia (i.e. fever), and autonomic disturbances (i.e. urinary and fecal incontinence). This is a rare effect in patient taking antipsychotic drugs such as Aripiprazole. This requires immediate intervention as this is life threatening.

A normal cell in an adult woman has?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

The females carry two X-chromosomes in their cells but one of these X-chromosome gets permanently inactivated during embryonic development.

The X-inactivation is known as lyonization which ensures that only one functional X-chromosome should be present like in males.  This process is a random process and therefore a female can have both the functional X-chromosomes and males can also have a functional X-chromosome.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
