Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client after administering phenytoin IV bolus for a seizure. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an adverse effect of this medication?

A. Red man syndrome B. Hypotension C. Hypoglycemia D. Bradycardia

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypotension. Phenytoin can cause hypotension as an adverse effect due to its vasodilatory properties. When administered rapidly as an IV bolus, it can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure. Red man syndrome (
A) is associated with vancomycin, not phenytoin. Hypoglycemia (
C) is not a common adverse effect of phenytoin. Bradycardia (
D) is not typically seen with phenytoin; instead, it can cause tachycardia.
