Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has chronic kidney disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gentamicin is ototoxic, causing new-onset hearing loss by damaging inner ear structures. Hypotension, hyperthermia, and slurred speech are not typical adverse effects; nephrotoxicity is another concern.
