Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has hyperlipidemia and a new 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. One common adverse effect is constipation due to its mechanism of action in binding bile acids in the intestines, which can lead to decreased bowel movements. Monitoring for constipation is essential to prevent complications.
Other choices are incorrect because: A: Hyperglycemia is not a common adverse effect of colesevelam. B: Stomatitis is not typically associated with colesevelam use. C: Fever is not a known adverse effect of colesevelam. Overall, constipation is the most likely adverse effect to monitor for in this scenario.
