Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient who has a new prescription for amitriptyline. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor for? Which adverse effect should the nurse monitor for amitriptyline?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Constipation. Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, can cause anticholinergic effects leading to constipation. The rationale is that amitriptyline blocks the action of acetylcholine in the gut, slowing down bowel movements and causing constipation. Monitoring for constipation is important to prevent complications such as fecal impaction.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as hypertension, fever, and tachypnea are not commonly associated with amitriptyline use.
