Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client receiving febuxostat for long-term treatment of gout. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse closely monitor for?

Correct Answer: D

The nurse should monitor for renal impairment as febuxostat can cause kidney damage. This is crucial for long-term treatment, as renal function is essential for excreting uric acid. Hypertension (
A) is not a common adverse effect of febuxostat. Malignant hyperthermia (
B) is a rare, life-threatening reaction to certain medications, typically associated with anesthesia. Steven's Johnson Syndrome (
