Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has hypercholesterolemia and is receiving simvastatin. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a potential adverse effect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Muscle weakness. Simvastatin, a statin medication used to lower cholesterol, can cause muscle weakness as a potential adverse effect. This is due to the medication's impact on muscle cells, leading to muscle breakdown. This condition is known as rhabdomyolysis and can be serious. Blurred vision (
A), orthostatic hypotension (
C), and urinary retention (
D) are not commonly associated with simvastatin use. Blurred vision is more commonly linked to other medications, orthostatic hypotension can be seen with antihypertensive medications, and urinary retention is not a typical side effect of statins.
