Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client receiving gentamicin. For which of the following should the nurse monitor the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Tinnitus. The nurse should monitor the client for tinnitus because gentamicin can cause ototoxicity, leading to hearing loss and tinnitus. Tachycardia (
B), polyuria (
C), and photophobia (
D) are not commonly associated with gentamicin use. Tachycardia may be a sign of other issues, polyuria could indicate kidney problems, and photophobia is sensitivity to light, which is not a typical side effect of gentamicin.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on monitoring for tinnitus as a potential adverse effect of gentamicin therapy.
