A client has a new prescription for spironolactone. The client should be monitored for which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that can lead to hyperkalemia as an adverse effect.

Therefore, monitoring for signs and symptoms of hyperkalemia is crucial when a client is taking spironolactone.
