Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about the adverse effects of cisplatin. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tinnitus. Cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug, is known to cause ototoxicity, including tinnitus, which is a ringing in the ears. Tinnitus is an adverse effect that the nurse should include in the teaching because it can impact the client's quality of life. Constipation (
A) is not a common adverse effect of cisplatin. Weight gain (
B) is also not a typical adverse effect associated with cisplatin; in fact, weight loss is more common. Hyperkalemia (
D) is not a known adverse effect of cisplatin.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on educating the client about tinnitus when discussing the adverse effects of cisplatin.
