Question 1 of 5
Carbamazepine is prescribed for the management of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The nurse instructs the client to inform the primary health care provider if which sign/symptom occurs?
Correct Answer: C

BSE is useful for early detection of breast cancer, but is unrelated to cervical cancer.
