Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who is receiving carbamazepine for partial seizure disorder. Which of the following statements by the client's parent is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because new bruises may indicate a potential side effect of carbamazepine, which is thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet count leading to easy bruising. It is important for the nurse to prioritize this as it can be a serious issue.
Choice A is not the priority as napping can be a normal response to carbamazepine.
Choice B and C are common side effects like upset stomach and dry mouth but are not as concerning as potential thrombocytopenia.
