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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Paresthesias. Ergotamine, a medication used to treat migraines, can cause paresthesias (tingling or numbness) due to its vasoconstrictive effects on blood vessels. This adverse effect is important to include in teaching as it can affect the client's sensory perception. Tinnitus (
A) is not a common adverse effect of ergotamine. Blurred vision (
C) is more commonly associated with other medications like anticholinergics. Hematuria (
D) is not a typical adverse effect of ergotamine. The other choices are not relevant to the adverse effects of ergotamine and are therefore incorrect.
