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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Muscle weakness. Simvastatin, a statin medication used to lower cholesterol, can cause muscle weakness as a potential adverse effect due to myopathy or muscle damage. This is a serious side effect that can lead to rhabdomyolysis, a severe condition where muscle breakdown releases toxins into the bloodstream. Other choices are incorrect because blurred vision is not a common side effect of statins, orthostatic hypotension is more commonly associated with antihypertensive medications, and urinary retention is not a typical side effect of simvastatin.
