Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving high-dose metalopramide. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tardive dyskinesia. Metoclopramide, a medication that promotes gastric emptying, can lead to tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle movements. Monitoring for this adverse effect is crucial due to its serious and potentially irreversible nature. Black stools (
A) are more commonly associated with gastrointestinal bleeding. Dry cough (
B) is not a common side effect of metoclopramide. Oral candidiasis (
C) is a fungal infection in the mouth and is not directly related to metoclopramide use.
