Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a 17-year-old female client who has severe acne about the use of isotretinoin. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse instruct the client is the priority to report immediately to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Feelings of isolation and depression. This is the priority adverse effect to report immediately because isotretinoin, a medication used to treat severe acne, is known to potentially cause severe psychiatric side effects, including depression and suicidal thoughts in some patients. It is crucial for the nurse to address any signs of depression promptly to prevent any harm to the client.
Incorrect choices:
A: Back pain - While back pain can be a side effect of isotretinoin, it is not typically considered an urgent issue that requires immediate reporting.
B: Frequent nosebleeds - Nosebleeds can occur as a common side effect of isotretinoin, but they are not considered life-threatening and can typically be managed with supportive care.
C: Itching of skin - Skin itching is a common side effect of isotretinoin and is not typically a priority to report immediately unless it is severe or accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
