Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for sumatriptan for cluster headaches. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor for as an adverse effect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chest tightness is a potential adverse effect of sumatriptan, a triptan used for cluster headaches, due to its vasoconstrictive effects, which may mimic angina and require immediate evaluation.
Choice B is incorrect because weight gain is not associated with sumatriptan; it is more typical of other medications like antidepressants.
Choice C is incorrect because fever is not a common side effect unless an infection is present.
Choice D is incorrect because tachycardia, not bradycardia, may occur due to sumatriptan's stimulatory effects.
