Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing an assessment on a client who has been taking verapamil as prescribed for two months. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as adverse effects of this medication?
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and C. Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, can cause peripheral edema due to its vasodilatory effects, bradycardia as it reduces heart rate, and constipation as it can slow down intestinal motility.
Choice D, blurred vision, and choice E, insomnia, are not typically associated with verapamil use. Blurred vision is more common with anticholinergic medications, while insomnia is not a common side effect of verapamil.
