Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has hyperlipidemia and a prescription for colesevelam. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following manifestations as an adverse effect of colesevelam?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Constipation. Colesevelam is a bile acid sequestrant used to lower cholesterol levels. It can cause constipation as a common side effect due to its mechanism of action in binding bile acids in the intestines. This can lead to reduced intestinal motility and fecal bulk. Hyperglycemia (
A) is not a common adverse effect of colesevelam. Stomatitis (
B) refers to inflammation of the mouth and is not associated with colesevelam. Fever (
C) is not a typical side effect of this medication.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
