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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: He has so many new bruises on his body. This is the nurse's priority because carbamazepine can cause a decrease in platelet count, leading to bruising and bleeding. It indicates a potential serious side effect that requires immediate attention.
Choices B, C, and D are common side effects of carbamazepine but are less urgent compared to potential bleeding issues. The client experiencing dry mouth, nausea, or fatigue are expected side effects that can be managed with interventions. In contrast, new bruises warrant further assessment and monitoring to ensure the client's safety.
