A nurse is caring for a client who is taking tamoxifen to treat breast cancer. The nurse should identify which of the following manifestations as an adverse effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hot flashes. Tamoxifen is known to cause hot flashes as an adverse effect due to its effect on estrogen receptors. This medication works by blocking estrogen receptors and can disrupt the hormonal balance, leading to hot flashes. Tinnitus (
A) is not a common adverse effect of tamoxifen. Urinary frequency (
C) and constipation (
