Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing acute back pain and who was given a medical prescription for a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID). The nurse would monitor the client for which symptom?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Black, tarry stools indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, a common side effect of NSAIDs. Constipation is not a typical side effect of NSAIDs. Nasal congestion is unrelated to NSAID use. Weight loss is not a primary concern with NSAID use but may result from prolonged gastrointestinal issues.
