Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes mellitus and is taking pioglitazone. The nurse should plan to monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fluid retention. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, can cause fluid retention by increasing sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys. This can lead to edema, weight gain, and exacerbation of heart failure. Monitoring for signs of fluid retention such as weight gain, edema, and shortness of breath is crucial. Tinnitus (
B), insomnia (
C), and orthostatic hypotension (
D) are not commonly associated with pioglitazone use. Tinnitus is more commonly associated with ototoxic medications, insomnia may be a side effect of other medications or conditions, and orthostatic hypotension is more commonly seen with antihypertensive medications.
