Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching about the adverse effects of ergotamine to a client who has migraine headaches. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Paresthesias. Ergotamine can cause paresthesias, which are abnormal sensations like tingling or numbness. This is due to its vasoconstrictive effects on blood vessels. Blurred vision (
A) is not a common adverse effect of ergotamine. Hematuria (
B) is the presence of blood in urine and is not typically associated with ergotamine use. Tinnitus (
C) is ringing in the ears and is not a common side effect of ergotamine.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on educating the client about the risk of paresthesias when taking ergotamine for migraine headaches.
