indicating effectiveness of the medication? - --"I don't have pain in my stomach

following adverse effects? - --Diarrhea

small intestine cannot utilize. It causes diarrhea by lowering the pH, so the bacterial
flora are changed in the bowel.

✅✅
nurse should instruct the client that she will need which of the following baseline
examinations prior to starting therapy? - --Papanicolaou test
Statins such as atorvastatin can cause liver damage and liver disease is a

function testing before beginning therapy, then every 1 to 2 months, at 6 and 12
weeks, and then periodically throughout therapy.
, A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a prescription for oral clindamycin
✅✅
hydrochloride. Which of the following findings should the nurse immediately to the
provider? - --Watery diarrhea
The greatest risk to this client who is taking clindamycin hydrochloride is colitis,
ranging from mild diarrhea to a severe, life-threatening condition called

pseudomembranous colitis; therefore, this is the priority finding to report to the
provider.

✅✅
for metoclopramide. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse
monitor? - --Sedation
The nurse should monitor the client for sedation, which is a common adverse effect

A nurse is caring for a client who routinely drinks alcohol. Which of the following
✅✅
information should the nurse provide the client about alcohol consumption? -

alcohol-induced hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes.
A nurse is reviewing medications for a client who has just been diagnosed with a
✅✅
small bowel obstruction. The nurse should withhold senna prescribed orally based

clients who have a small bowel obstruction.
Senna is a stimulant laxative and, like other laxatives, is contraindicated in clients
who have fecal impaction, bowel obstruction, and acute abdominal surgery to
prevent perforation. Because the bowel does not allow for any passage of stool with
a complete small bowel obstruction, laxatives will cause increased abdominal
cramping and discomfort and might cause perforation of the bowel.
✅✅
A nurse is preparing to administer orlistat to a client for a treatment of obesity. For
which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor? - --Oily fecal
spotting
Because the medication reduces the gastrointestinal tract's absorption of fat, oily
