Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for topiramate for migraine prevention. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor for as an adverse effect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight loss is a common adverse effect of topiramate, an anticonvulsant used for migraine prevention, due to its appetite-suppressing effects, requiring monitoring to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Choice B is incorrect because tachycardia is not a typical side effect; topiramate is more likely to cause sedation.
Choice C is incorrect because hypertension is not commonly associated with topiramate; hypotension may occur in some cases.
Choice D is incorrect because dry mouth is not a primary side effect; cognitive slowing or paresthesia are more frequent.
