Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving gemfibrozil. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an adverse effect of this medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Muscle tenderness. Gemfibrozil, a fibric acid derivative used to lower cholesterol, can cause myopathy as an adverse effect, presenting as muscle tenderness. This is due to potential muscle damage or inflammation. Dependent edema (
A) is not a common side effect of gemfibrozil. Tremors (
C) are not typically associated with this medication. Hyperkalemia (
D) is not a known adverse effect of gemfibrozil.
Therefore, muscle tenderness is the most relevant finding to identify as an adverse effect of gemfibrozil.
