Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking dimenhydrinate to treat motion sickness. Which of the following findings is an adverse effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Drowsiness. Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine commonly used for motion sickness, which can cause drowsiness as a common adverse effect due to its sedative properties. This is because it can cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the central nervous system, leading to drowsiness. The other options are incorrect because hypertension (
B) is not a known adverse effect of dimenhydrinate, polyuria (
C) is excessive urination, which is not typically associated with this medication, and dependent edema (
D) is swelling due to fluid buildup, which is also not commonly caused by dimenhydrinate.
Therefore, the correct adverse effect to expect with dimenhydrinate use is drowsiness.
