Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the following client's medications should be monitored by the nurse for hearing loss related to a medication interaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Furosemide and amikacin. Furosemide and amikacin are both known to have ototoxic effects that can lead to hearing loss when used together. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause ototoxicity, especially at higher doses. Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic known for its potential to cause hearing loss. When combined, the risk of ototoxicity is increased.
Therefore, the nurse should closely monitor these clients for any signs of hearing loss.
Choice A (Propranolol and raloxifene) is incorrect because neither of these medications is associated with hearing loss.
Choice C (Losartan and atorvastatin) is incorrect as these medications do not typically cause hearing loss.
Choice D (Digoxin and levothyroxine) is also incorrect as these medications are not known to be ototoxic.
