Question 1 of 5
A client is currently taking bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) to help with diarrhea. The nurse would educate the client on which adverse effect associated with bismuth subsalicylate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D:
Tongue discoloration. Bismuth subsalicylate can cause a harmless and reversible black discoloration of the tongue and stools. This occurs due to the formation of bismuth sulfide. Hypotension (
A), blood clots (
B), and hypoglycemia (
C) are not typically associated adverse effects of bismuth subsalicylate.
