Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has gout and is taking allopurinol. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse identify as the priority to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Rash. A rash could indicate a severe allergic reaction or Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a potentially life-threatening skin disorder associated with allopurinol. This adverse effect requires immediate medical attention to prevent serious complications.
B: Diarrhea, C: Nausea, and D: Metallic taste in mouth are common side effects of allopurinol but not typically considered urgent or life-threatening. Reporting them to the provider is important, but they do not require immediate attention like a rash.
