Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for pramipexole for restless legs syndrome. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring for nausea or dizziness is important with pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, as these are common side effects that may affect safety or require dose adjustment in restless legs syndrome treatment.
Choice A is incorrect because pramipexole is typically taken in the evening or a few hours before bedtime, as symptoms worsen at night.
Choice C is incorrect because pramipexole may take days to weeks to relieve symptoms, not immediately.
Choice D is incorrect because pramipexole should not be discontinued abruptly, even if symptoms resolve, to avoid withdrawal or symptom recurrence; it requires provider guidance.
